Angry Birds Match vs Tiles and Tales
Angry Birds Match
Angry Birds Match adds a different twist to the usual slingshot-based gameplay that the Angry Birds franchise is incredibly renowned for. In this brand-new spin-off, Rovio delivers a whole new match-3 adventure where you'll not only need to organize the Hatchlings' party but also to protect it from the mischievous pigs. Mix and match up tons of cakes and party decor to solve the many and varied puzzle levels available. You can also bring out the big boys a.k.a. the Angry Birds like Red, Chuck, and Bomb with a match-4, and use explosive Boosters to clear the toughest levels. The best part of this game though, aside from the fact that you can play this game completely offline, is definitely the crazy-cute Hatchlings that you can collect. You can even visit them and put on the new outfits you've unlocked!Angry Birds Match may have done a complete 360 on the iconic gameplay that had made the franchise famous, but this isn't exactly their first attempt at doing so - There's an Angry Birds-themed racing game called Angry Birds Go! after all. That being said, this new game does help Rovio experiment with various other game genres just to see which new field they can expand the franchise into... and apparently, the casual match-3 genre is a pretty good bet.
Tiles and Tales
Tiles and Tales is a puzzle-adventure RPG set in a beautiful fantasy medieval world where you get to join Lilly, a young courageous squire, as she sets off to save her kingdom Zanira from the Norbolds.

Aside from playing as Lilly, you can play as Gareth the prince, Rumford the knight and Igua the rogue.With lots levels and stages for you to challenge and stunning locations to explore, Tiles and Tales is a matching-based puzzle-adventure RPG that is fun in so many ways.
