Quackoria Play
Feather Match
Swap feathers, eggs, lily pads, snails, ducklings and drops to line up three of a kind. Clear the goal before your moves run out and the pond gets a little trickier.
Swap feathers, eggs, lily pads, snails, ducklings and drops to line up three of a kind. Clear the goal before your moves run out and the pond gets a little trickier.
Feather Match is a gentle match-three puzzle set on a Quackoria pond, with pond tiles that clear, tumble and refill in soft cascades. It runs right in your browser with nothing to install. Unlike the faster Quackoria arcade games, there is no clock: you can take as long as you like over every move, so it is the calm one.
How to Play
- Press Play to fill the 8 by 8 pond with six kinds of tiles.
- Swap two neighbouring tiles so three or more of the same kind line up in a row or column.
- Matched tiles clear, tiles above drop down and fresh ones pour in from the top.
- Falling tiles that form new lines clear again as a chain, and each chain link multiplies the points.
- Each level has a goal, such as clearing 18 eggs or scoring 500 points, and a limited number of moves.
- Reach the goal to move up a level; run out of moves and the game ends.

Gameplay tips
- Look for swaps low on the board first; clearing tiles near the bottom makes more tiles fall and starts more chains.
- A swap that makes no line simply slides back and does not cost a move, so try ideas freely.
- When the goal is a tile kind, matches of four or five of that kind count every tile, so favour big lines of it.
- Score goals reward chains: a chain of three pays triple, so set up two lines that fall into each other.

Frequently asked questions
Does a swap that makes no line cost a move?
No. The tiles slide back to where they were and your move count stays the same.
How is the score worked out?
Every cleared tile is worth 10 points, multiplied by the chain number. A first match pays 10 per tile, the cascade after it pays 20 per tile, and so on.
What happens if there are no possible moves?
The game checks after every turn and after every level-up, and lays out a fresh pond if no swap could make a line, so you are never stuck.
Is my best score saved?
Yes. Your best score is stored in this browser and shown in the Best box the next time you visit.
