Games Like Auto Match Blast

Idle match-3 + tower defense.

Early on, blast ore through match-3 to mine and gather resources.

Spend resources to build structures, craft ammunition, and raise defensive positions that shield your mining.

Switch between different ammo types — distinct strategies for swarms versus powerful bosses.

In the mid-to-late game, fully automated mining becomes possible — you only need to lay out the buildings.

Explore 9 planets / 50+ monsters / 100+ tech; powerful tech lets you dig up far more resources.

Each dig's core energy converts into tech points once you return.

In-match, you can also raise building tiers to boost their production efficiency.
