Dragonfly Crush 2
A hand-tuned match-3 with 100 verified-winnable levels across two living worlds — a garden that follows your real clock, a soundtrack synthesized from zero audio files, and a studio promise of no purchases, no interrupting ads and no tracking. It runs right here in your browser.
QUICK ANSWER
Dragonfly Crush 2 is a free match-3 puzzle game that runs in any web browser: 100 hand-tuned levels across two worlds, six special tiles to forge, and a garden that changes with your real local time of day. There is nothing to install, no account, no energy system, no purchases and no tracking. It is one tap away.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Complete and free is the design. All 100 levels, both worlds, every booster and guardian — no purchase path exists anywhere in the game.
- Five match shapes forge six powers. Line Blast, Seeker Drone, Spirit Bomb, Prism Star, Supernova — and any two specials fuse when you swap them together.
- Two worlds change the physics. The Garden teaches amber, lily pads and lotus blooms; the Crystal Caverns add two-hit armor and voids the whole board must fall around.
- The garden runs on your clock. Morning, day, sunset and night each restyle the palette, the fireflies and the music — and this page follows the same rule.
- Nothing phones home. No analytics, no ad network, no account. Your save lives in your own browser, with an export code that belongs to you.
- It installs like an app, straight from the browser. Android, iPhone and desktop in about five seconds — no store, and updates arrive on their own.

Don’t take our word for it
ANSWER CAPSULE
The little board below is playable, right now, on this page. Tap one dragonfly, then tap a neighbor to swap. Line up three of a color and they pop. The full game adds 100 levels, special tiles, cascades, boosters, guardians, weather and a soundtrack — this is just the first sip.

MODULE 01
The whole game, without leaving
ANSWER CAPSULE
This is the real game, not a video of it. Nothing loads until you press play — the frame below carries no source until then. On a phone, the full-screen version at dragonfly-crush2.ddsboston.com feels best.
MODULE 02
Meet the six dragonflies
ANSWER CAPSULE
Six colors share the 8×8 board. Any three or more of a kind pop — and color-clear levels will send you hunting one hue in particular, so learn their wings. Levels 1–50 dress them in garden light; the Caverns turn the sky behind them a deep gem blue.
Pink
First to catch the morning light on the garden map.
Purple
Wears the sunset a full hour before the sky does.
Blue
The Caverns’ own color — half gem, half sky.
Green
At home wherever the lily pads gather.
Yellow
Easy to mistake for a firefly at dusk.
Orange
The last bright thing before night settles in.
MODULE 03
Five shapes, six powers
ANSWER CAPSULE
Bigger match shapes forge stronger tiles: 4 in a line makes a Line Blast, 4 in a square a Seeker Drone, a T or L of five a Spirit Bomb, 5 in a line a Prism Star, and 6 or more a Supernova. The sixth power is combination — swap any two specials together and they fuse.
Line Blast
Match 4 in a line. Wipes an entire row or column in one strike.
Seeker Drone
Match 4 in a square. Flies off and hunts down hazards and objectives.
Spirit Bomb
Match 5 in a T or L. Detonates a mighty 3×3 blast at the crossing.
Prism Star
Match 5 in a line. Swap it into anything to collect that entire color.
Supernova
Match 6 or more. A colossal 5×5 blast that launches its own Seeker Drone.
Combinations
Two Prism Stars clear the whole board. Bomb + Line Blast clears 3 rows and 3 columns at once.
MODULE 04
Two worlds, one garden
ANSWER CAPSULE
The Garden (levels 1–50) teaches amber, lily pads and lotus blooms under a sky that follows your clock. The Crystal Caverns (levels 51–100) change the physics: crystal armor takes two hits, and voids punch holes the whole board must cascade around.
The Garden
Levels 1–50. Rain falls over one stretch, wind sweeps another, and fireflies thicken at dusk. Guide lotus blooms to the bottom row and crack the amber.
The Crystal Caverns
Levels 51–100. Gem-dust drifts through the dark, crystal armor shrugs off the first blow, and every void reshapes how the board falls.
MODULE 05
A garden that knows what time it is
ANSWER CAPSULE
The game reads your local clock — never the other way around. Morning, day, sunset and night each bring their own palette, firefly density and music. The soundtrack is generated note-by-note in your browser while you play; the game ships zero audio files.
MODULE 06
The numbers, measured
ANSWER CAPSULE
Every figure below is measured from the shipped game, not marketing. The difficulty curve was tuned against roughly 7,000 simulated playthroughs using the game’s own engine, and every one of the 100 levels is verified winnable — the finale included. MEASURED

MODULE 07
Install it like an app — no store
ANSWER CAPSULE
Dragonfly Crush 2 installs straight from the browser in about five seconds — no Play Store, no App Store, no download bar. On many Android phones, Chrome offers it by itself: a small banner appears asking if you’d like to install the game. Tap yes and it lands on your home screen with its own icon, opening fullscreen like any app.
Android (Chrome / Edge)
Open the game and either accept the install banner when it appears, or tap the ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen → Install. The dragonfly icon joins your home screen and the game opens fullscreen.
iPhone & iPad (Safari)
iPhone & iPad (Safari)Open the game, tap the Share button (the square with the arrow), then Add to Home Screen. Same icon, same fullscreen garden.
Desktop (Chrome / Edge)
Desktop (Chrome / Edge)Open the game and click the small install icon at the right end of the address bar (a monitor with a down arrow). The game gets its own window and taskbar icon.
Why it works
The game is a modern web app: installing it just plants a shortcut with fullscreen powers. Nothing extra downloads, updates arrive automatically the next time you play, and uninstalling is one long-press. Your save stays in the browser either way.
MODULE 08
The free-forever charter
ANSWER CAPSULE
What does the game send home? Nothing. No analytics, no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting, no ad network, no account system. Your progress lives in your own browser, with an export code in settings so you can carry it between devices yourself. The only promotions anywhere are quiet links to our own apparel shop — and they never interrupt play.
THE RULE
If a feature needs your data, the feature is wrong. Free forever is the design, not a promotion — there is no way to spend money in Dragonfly Crush 2 at all, and no one is watching you play.
MODULE 09
Straight from the garden
ANSWER CAPSULE
Every frame below is a real capture from the live game — the morning map, the night map, rain over Sector 3, a cascade mid-detonation, the Crystal Caverns, and a three-star finish.
MODULE 10
Questions
Is Dragonfly Crush 2 really free?
Yes. The whole game — all 100 levels, both worlds, every booster and guardian — is free, with no in-app purchases, no paywall, no energy system and no account. The only promotions anywhere are optional links to the studio’s own apparel shop, and they never interrupt play.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Dragonfly Crush 2 runs entirely in a web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Opening the page is the whole installation. On a phone you can optionally add it to your home screen to play fullscreen.
Does it track me or collect my data?
No. There is no tracking, no analytics, no advertising network and no account. Progress is saved only in your own browser, and the settings screen gives you an export code so you can move your save to another device yourself.
What kind of game is it?
A match-3 puzzle in the classic swap-and-match style of Candy Crush and Bejeweled: swipe to swap adjacent dragonflies on an 8×8 board and line up 3 or more of the same color. It differs from most of the genre by having no lives, no timers, no energy system and no purchases.
How do the special dragonflies work?
Bigger match shapes forge six specials: 4 in a line makes a Line Blast that clears a row or column; 4 in a square makes a Seeker Drone that hunts hazards; 5 in a T or L makes a Spirit Bomb with a 3×3 blast; 5 in a line makes a Prism Star that collects a whole color; and 6 or more makes a Supernova — a 5×5 blast that launches its own Seeker Drone. Swapping two specials combines them.
How many levels and worlds are there?
100 levels across two worlds. The Garden (levels 1–50) introduces amber, lily pads and lotus blooms; the Crystal Caverns (levels 51–100) add two-hit crystal armor and voids — holes in the board that dragonflies cascade around.
Is the mini-game on this page the real game?
It is a real, playable 6×6 match-3 built with the game’s actual sprite art, but it is a taste, not the full engine — no specials, boosters, objectives or cascade scoring. The full game one click away is the real thing.
How is my progress saved?
Automatically, in your own browser, after every level. Nothing is sent anywhere. The settings screen also shows an export save code you can paste into another browser or device to carry your progress with you.
Is there a time limit, lives or an energy system?
No. Each level gives a Battery — a set number of swaps — and that is the only limit. There are no lives to lose, no timers, no daily caps and nothing to wait for or buy. Failing a level costs nothing but the retry.
Can I play it on my phone?
Yes. It is built mobile-first for touch and verified across phone, tablet and desktop screen sizes, in portrait and landscape. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox.
Why does the game look different at night?
The garden follows your real local time of day: morning, day, sunset and night each bring a different palette, firefly density and music. World 2 trades the garden palette for the deep blues of the Crystal Caverns. This page follows the same clock.
How do I install it on my phone without an app store?
Straight from the browser. On Android, Chrome often shows an install banner by itself — accept it, or use the ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen. On iPhone or iPad, tap Share and then Add to Home Screen in Safari. On desktop Chrome or Edge, click the install icon at the right end of the address bar. The game gets its own icon and opens fullscreen; nothing downloads from a store and updates arrive automatically.
Who made Dragonfly Crush 2?
Design Delight Studio, a Boston studio that makes organic, eco-certified apparel and free browser games. Its other free games are the N64-style action platformer VOLTHAVEN 64 and Ashaveth.
