## Description

Crack open a pixel-art puzzle adventure! NutCracker is a match-3 game where your boards are watched by Nutkin, a cheeky squirrel who steals your nuts, swaps your pieces, and occasionally leaves a snack behind when he feels guilty. <br><br>Goal:<br>     Swap and match walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, chestnuts, macadamias, and peanuts. Line up four or more or make L and T shapes to charge special nuts that clear rows or columns, blast 3x3 areas, or wipe an entire nut type off the board. Square matches score bonus points and charge a special nut too. Chain cascades to multiply your score.<br><br>     Every few turns, Nutkin scampers across your board. He might swipe a nut, swap your pieces around, or if you&#39;re lucky leave a squirrel snack worth bonus time or extra moves. Watch for his telegraph and plan around him.<br><br>70 Levels with 14 Worlds<br>     Journey through fourteen pixel worlds, five levels each: Spring Forest, Summer Forest, Fall Forest, Rain Forest, Jungle, Temple, Seaside, Canyon, Mountain Top, Castle, Ruins, Winter Forest, Haunted House, and the Midnight Keep.

Replay levels to beat your best score.<br><br>Summary:<br>    - Chapters 1–7 (35 levels) are completely free<br>    - One single purchase unlocks chapters 8–14 forever, on every device signed in to the same Google account<br>    - No ads.
