Tile Tide is a real-time match-3 survival duel for two. You each get your own board of 7 columns and 9 rows, drop coloured tiles to make matches, and try to keep your stack low while the tide keeps pushing new rows up from the bottom. The last one standing wins.
In 30s Blitz, the game ends 30 seconds after the first player goes under. In Endless Duel, it runs until you've both gone under. Either way, whoever stays up longer wins. Clears earn 10 points for three tiles plus 5 per extra tile, but points only break an exact tie.
You play at the same time on your own boards, so there's no waiting for turns. Watching your partner's meter creep up adds plenty of friendly tension, and a game is quick enough for "just one more".
Do we get the same tiles? Yes. You both get the same drop tiles
and the same tide rows in the same order, however fast either of you
plays, so the race is fair. Your boards still look different because
you choose where each tile goes.
Do I lose if a column fills up? No. A full column just won't take
more tiles. You only go under when the tide rises while a tile is in the
top row.
What if my partner goes under first? The win is already yours.
You just keep playing until the game ends.
Tile Tide is free, with no download or account needed. Available on the web and Google Play.
