Hey Product Hunt! š
I built Emoji Match because I was tired of being manipulated by my own phone.
Candy Crush. Royal Match. Bejeweled. I love match-3 games ā but at some point they all do the same thing: run out of lives, hit a wall, get asked to spend money to keep playing. I'd find myself genuinely stressed by a game that was supposed to be relaxing. That felt broken to me.
So I built the game I actually wanted to play.
I'm a developer who stepped away from gaming for a while, and this started as a personal challenge ā could I build something polished and fun as a solo project, using AI tools like Claude Code to extend what I could do alone? Emoji Match is the answer to that question.
The rules were simple from day one:
ā No lives
ā No timers
ā No pay-to-win
ā Just play, at your pace, with emojis you actually like
500+ emojis, customisable boards, saved sets, daily challenges, achievements, and a subscription that does exactly one thing: removes ads. That's the whole game.
It's live on iOS and Android right now.
I'd love your honest feedback ā what's missing, what feels off, what would make you actually keep it on your phone. The next major update is already in progress and your input will genuinely shape it.
Thanks for being here š
