There’s more to a makeover than just a haircut and a handbag; it’s about finding beauty on the inside. Just ask the creators of Project Makeover.
In this match-3 puzzler, step into the snazzy boots of a TV director devoted to leveling up the lives of lucky contestants. When not swapping gems, you oversee all-encompassing upgrades, from better-fitting jackets to groovier living rooms. New look, new you!
Developer Magic Tavern knows a thing or two about amazing match-3 games. (These are the same minds behind the blockbuster hit Matchington Mansion, after all.) But fashion wasn’t a strong suit, so they hired a professional designer to help craft the game’s chic, eye-popping styles.
It turns out bringing a fashion expert on board can have its own mini-makeover effect: “Not only did the game become fashionable, the team started dressing better,” laughs Adam Foroughi, CEO of the game’s publisher, AppLovin.
Each Project Makeover character has different needs. Help a chef with blander-than-porridge taste in decor, or clean up a gruff mechanic while transforming his cluttered garage into a breathtaking coffee bar. From chair colors to plant varietals, every choice is under your watchful eye.
Don’t forget your own appeal. Unlock new style options for your avatar and visit friends’ spaces to check out their style.
It’s not just about enhancing appearances—your makeovers improve how your subjects feel about themselves, says Foroughi. “You can see the characters becoming more confident, showcasing all forms of beauty.” Simply fabulous!
