Glimmer Hollow: Match 3 Puzzle | HTML5 Game

Match glowing gems, free the little geckos and bring a hidden forest sanctuary back to life, one place at a time.

Welcome to Glimmer Hollow, a complete match-3 game with a story, built with plain JavaScript. Ivy Marsh inherits her grandmother’s forest sanctuary and a letter: mend the Hollow before the Moon Festival and relight the great Moon Lantern. Swap neighbouring gems to line up three or more, turn four in a row into a rocket, an L or T shape into a bomb and five in a line into a rainbow flower, and combine them for huge blasts. Earn stars to repair the gate, the lantern walk, the greenhouse, the gecko nursery, the cottage and more.

Every board is different. 5000 levels use dozens of board shapes and mix gem goals with gecko slabs, crates, moss and lanterns to carry down, and every one of them was played by a test bot, so there is no level that cannot be won.
