Play Cucaracha - Fun Match 3 Game Under-Pressure
Play a tricky mouse-clicking, match 3, binocular vision game online! Cucaracha is a fun yet very difficult color matching game where you play against the clock to shoot differently colored ‘cucarachas’ (cute little cockroach characters) onto a rectangle game grid, and attempt to make horizontal, vertical or right-angled matches of three or more cucarachas as often as you can. The catch is that you fire two cucarachas into the grid with each click action, and these may not be the ideal color for your quickly planned matching scheme (randomly-colored cucarachas are launched each time).
This surprisingly-challenging, mouse-based visual puzzle and survival game requires good binocular vision skills, focus, concentration, and quick reactions and control under pressure. You only have up to approximately 5 seconds to process the colors of the "ready to be launched" cucarachas, and must rapidly choose the optimal area to fire them into to try to create a match.
How to Play: Survive for as long as possible by eliminating same-colored cucarachas through making matches of three or more (horizontally, vertically or a right-angled group of adjacent cucarachas). Have play with two ‘cucaracha cannons’, one on each side of the game screen. These cannons move along parallel lines and at a similar height to each other, and follow / mimic the movement of your computer mouse.
Left Click to simultaneously shoot cucarachas from both cannons. Each time you make a match of three or more of the same color, those are eliminated from the game grid. If you hesitate for too long to make a "firing" decision, the "ready to be launched" cucarachas are automatically fired once the short time bar at the bottom of the game screen elapses. If a horizontal line of cucarachas reaches beyond the left or right side edge of the game grid, it’s game over (To replay, click Play Again and then Start).
If you survive until the end of the minute clock at the top of the game screen, a new level begins with additional colors of cucaracha in play. Occasionally, a ‘Bonus’ cucaracha appears in order to eliminate a large number of regular cucarachas. This Bonus character could take the form of a ‘Drill’ which eliminates a full horizontal row, or a ‘Bomb’ which eliminates all cucarachas of a certain color. Enjoy the fun action!
