What's it all about?
Tidewell is a cozy match-3 puzzle about rebuilding a storm-battered harbor. Swap sea treasures to make matches, craft flares, buoys, gulls and tide pearls, and combine them for huge chain reactions. Clear crates, sand, nets and message bottles across 100 handcrafted levels, then spend your stars to restore the pier, lighthouse, market, boatyard and café. Bring a Harbor Pal into every level: the crab, puffin, octopus and turtle each have a special power that charges as you play.
