An idea for your next attempt

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

What counts as success

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.

The playing sequence

  1. Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
  2. Matched pieces disappear.
  3. Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
  4. Reach the target before running out of moves.

Controls

Tap adjacent cells. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Follow the example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
