【How to play】

With the main objective to help Austin, the main character of Homescapes, restore his family home to its former glory, players’ primary task in the game is to match 3 or more pieces of the same color to complete a level. You can also use special pieces, such as bombs, rockets, and paper planes, to complete levels faster. To complete a level, you must reach the required number of matching pieces or scores. Each level has a limited number of moves, which adds to the challenge. Apart from that, Homescapes also designed a series of wonderful and entertaining mini-games, such as the needle-pulling collection mini-game, which greatly enriched and diversified the game experience of players. Whether by solving major match-3 puzzles or successfully challenging a variety of mini-games, players are rewarded with a varying number of stars, which are indispensable to support the player in renovating the house for the main character.

One unique aspect of Homescapes is the ability to create power-ups by matching four or more pieces. These power-ups can help the player clear pieces from the board more efficiently and can also be combined for even greater effects.
