Jazzy Matchy 8s
Retro broadcast match-3. Match the forecast, chain the cascades, and crack the combo lock to find the hidden channels.
Jazzy Matchy 8s is a match-3 puzzle game styled as a 1990s local-forecast TV broadcast — LED type, blue-gradient studio, an orange ticker, and a CRT scanline glow. Swap weather icons on the 8×8 board, chain cascades, and trigger specials: a 4-match builds a storm cell that clears a line, a 5-match spins up a tornado.
Play Timed, Moves, or Endless, work through a 24-level Season Map with star ratings, or take on the date-seeded Daily Challenge and build a streak.
Then there is the other game hiding underneath. The seven dials on the menu are a combination lock: 16 classified combos unlock celebration effects, hidden themes, ambient weather, bonus music tracks, and six full arcade mini-games. Codes never appear in-game — the Secret Archive keeps score of what you have found and hints at what you haven't.
Built in Godot 4.6 (GDScript). Free. Play it right here in your browser; the Android build ships to Google Play next.

The combo lock: the seven weather dials on the main menu take secret sequences. Dial one in and the station reacts — screen-wide celebration effects, new ambient weather, new channels. Nothing is spelled out; the Secret Archive tracks your discoveries and drops hints for the rest.
No spoilers here: one combo is seven of the same icon. That is all you get.
