Match 3 Game - Combos and Timer

Now that the Match 3 game is further in development I'm using these blog posts to highlight different areas of the Match 3 game's design.

One of the elements of the Match 3 Game is a system for creating combos.

As the player makes matches in the game it builds up a combo multiplier, which increases the score. To increase challenge for the player (and in turn to make the game more interesting) the combo is on a timer so the player needs to make matches under time pressure to increase the combo multiplier. As the number of combos increase the amount of seconds the player has to make a combo decreases.
