Tidal Match is a memory card game inspired by rock pooling. Twelve cards hide six pairs of tidal creatures — crabs, octopuses, pufferfish, lobsters, sea vortexes, and seaweed. Flip two cards at a time to find matching pairs. Remember what you have seen and use your memory to complete the grid.
Click any face-down card to flip it and reveal the tidal creature underneath. Then click a second card. If both cards show the same creature, they stay face up — pair found! If they do not match, both flip back face-down. Use your memory of previously seen cards to find all six pairs.
The six symbols hidden on the cards are: 🌀 🦀 🐙 🐡 🦞 🌿. Each appears exactly twice across the 12-card grid. The positions are shuffled randomly each time you start a new game.
Tidal Match is a pure skill-based memory game. There are no virtual coins to spend or earn, no in-app purchases, and no real money involved at any point. This is a free entertainment game designed to test your memory and concentration.
