The Basics

Swap and Match 3 game with a murder mystery background. Complete levels by reaching targets (clearing a certain number of specific tiles) by swiping and making matches of 3 or more tiles. Matches of more than 3 give you special tiles that help you clear levels faster. Each level has a maximum number of allowed moves. Completing a level uncovers a clue and brings you one step closer to solving a murder mystery.

Difficulty

The levels start easy, but become more challenging as you progress through the game.

Variation

Plenty of variation in the swipe and match games as well as in the murder story lines.

Visually

Visually stands out compared to similar games, and that is saying quite something, as most of these type of games are done very well.

Free vs Paid

Feature complete for non spenders. Can purchase in game credits and boosters to help you complete levels.

Is It Any Good?

I give Small Town Murders: Match 3 9 out of 10 stars. Completing Swap and Match 3 levels to uncover clues works amazingly well.
