Bugs Found in Match Villains for iOS
Match Villains is a great game that makes you think while having fun. It offers players a large selection of complex puzzles that are presented through heists you must carry out to build a unique art collection. Each level is a unique challenge, and the game wraps them all into a cohesive and entertaining narrative.
The QAwerk team tested Match Villains during one of our bug crawls, and we discovered a few serious issues. Some of those lock the player out of game progression. Read our detailed report below if you want to know how this game could be improved further.

During testing Match Villains, I discovered three issues ranging from major to critical severity. The most significant problems involve blocked user flows, including an inactive ‘Continue’ button and a tooltip that prevents access to important game controls. I recommend performing a thorough review of onboarding, tutorial overlays, purchase cancellation flows, and Settings screen functionality across different devices and user scenarios.
