Bringing Puzzles to 3D Still Works

Bringing Puzzles to 3D Still Works 🧩

I remember trying Cube Master 3D back in 2021 and thinking — taking Zen Match to 3D is brilliant!

This move didn’t just add literal depth, but also gameplay depth! Finding the right tile became harder, misclicks more frequent, and levels often more complex. 🧠

Today, in 2025, we’re seeing the same trend across hyper and hybrid casual puzzles.

Take Screw Away: 3D Pin Puzzle — it applies the same 3Ding to the trending screw puzzle core and is now the #3 top-grossing game in its subgenre. 🔩

But that doesn’t mean going 3D is a guaranteed path to success. In both of these subgenres, the top-grossing games are still 2D, which can be easily spotted in the AppMagic charts!

Still, it doesn’t change the fact that many developers found their way to installs and revenue by adding one more dimension to core gameplay! 📈
