Button Box

Granny’s button box holds enough buttons for a whole century: crimson, mint, honey, cornflower, plum and pearl. Each one waits in its own velvet cell for a thread.

About this game

Button Box is a cozy match-3 puzzle where you draw a thread instead of swapping tiles. Your finger glides over matching buttons — up, down, sideways and diagonally — stringing them one after another. The longer the chain, the more metres go onto the level spool. Five buttons or more tie a knot: the last button turns golden. A golden button fits any colour and pays extra metres, so clever players save it for their longest thread. Every level pays coins. Spend them in the shop on a long spool, a thimble, a thin needle, a measuring tape and granny’s jar. Hundreds of levels with rising difficulty, six kinds of buttons, records and a leaderboard.

How to play

Press a button and drag the thread over neighbouring buttons of the same kind — up, down, sideways and diagonally. Release it: a chain of three or more goes onto the spool. Reach the metre goal before your threads run out. Changed your mind mid-thread? Move back onto the previous button and the last link unties. A chain shorter than three costs no thread. On desktop the mouse works the same way — hold the button and drag. With the keyboard: arrows or W/A/S/D move the cursor, Space adds a button to the thread, Enter winds the spool, Esc drops the thread. Tips: a chain of five or more ties a knot and pays extra metres; a golden button fits any kind; every fifth level is a breather; if no chain is left on the board, the box is shaken for free.
