Play M&m's : Break 'em Online

I picked up M&M's: Break 'em for my Game Boy Advance back in 2002. It was developed by Mistic Software, one of those many puzzle games that filled the handheld's library. It felt right at home on the GBA, a simple, colorful title you could play in short bursts between other things.

You control a cursor to swap adjacent M&M's candies on a grid, matching three or more of the same color to clear them. The main goal is to clear all the candies marked with a special outline from each stage before your moves run out. Two mechanics define the game: the chain reactions you can set off by clearing candies in a certain order, and the occasional special candy that clears entire rows or columns when matched. The pace is quick, and the difficulty ramps up steadily as the boards get more complex and your move count gets tighter. It feels satisfying to plan a few swaps ahead and watch the whole screen clear in a cascade.
