Disney Frozen Free Fall Games is the closest relative, and Disney Maleficent Free Fall follows the same gem-swapping idea with a darker film theme. Kongregate publishes it for Android, and it has been on Google Play since May 13, 2014. It is free, rated Everyone, and currently at version 9.38.2.
A match-3 puzzle built around Maleficent's backstory
The game puts a familiar puzzle format around the story of young Maleficent and her companion Diaval. You switch and slide gemstones to form matches, and chain reactions can cascade across the board. Levels get harder as you progress, and the story frames the climb as a quest.
The setting draws on Disney's live-action Maleficent film, with characters and locations from it.
Green magic, Diaval and thorn tendrils as power-ups
New abilities and power-ups unlock as you move through levels. Maleficent's green magic removes all gemstones of one color at once. Diaval swoops in to rearrange the board, and thorn tendrils clear whole rows and columns.
Further power-ups appear beyond these three.
What to check before installing on Android 7.1 or newer
The game needs Android 7.1 or higher, so older phones are out. It is free to install but contains ads and in-app purchases. Google Play shows 4.5 from about 496.9 thousand ratings, which is a large sample, and over 10 million installs.
