High‑Performance Match‑3 Game Development: A Pixi.js Case Study

3: months development
40%: increase in user engagement
25%: rise in in-game purchases

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Our client had a legacy “three-in-a-row” puzzle game that had once enjoyed strong player engagement. However, with rapidly evolving user expectations and rising competition in the casual gaming market, the game’s outdated visuals and limited functionality were no longer meeting player needs.

Challenge

The client’s legacy 'three-in-a-row' game was losing market share due to outdated visuals and slow, non-responsive mechanics that failed to meet modern player expectations. The primary challenge was to execute a complete visual and technical overhaul using Pixi.js without alienating the existing player base. OmiSoft was tasked with migrating the game to a high-performance HTML5 engine, optimizing cross-platform accessibility, and implementing new monetization features to reverse a decline in user engagement.

Business Results

We developed the game using HTML5 and PWA (Progressive Web App) technologies, which was the key driver behind the 55% growth in mobile users. This approach allowed us to deliver a seamless, native-like experience directly in the browser, bypassing the friction of app store downloads. It serves as a powerful, cost-effective alternative to native development, ensuring perfect responsiveness and high performance across all iOS and Android devices without the need for separate codebases.
