Swap two gems that are next to each other to make a line of
three or more of the same shape. Tap one and then its neighbour,
or drag it. They pop, everything above falls, and new gems drop in.
✨ Fours and fives
A line of four leaves a line gem. Match it and it clears its
whole row or column, the way its stripes lie.
A line of five, or two lines that cross in an L, T or +, leaves a
bomb gem. Match it and it clears the gems all round it.
⛓️ Chains
When gems falling in make another match by themselves, that is a
chain, and each link is worth more than the last.
🔀 There is always a move
The board never starts with a match made, and always has a swap that
works. If it runs out, it shuffles itself. 💡 Hint shows the
biggest swap there is, and 🔀 Shuffle mixes the board yourself.
⏰ The clock
On the timed levels every good swap puts time back, more for bigger
matches and chains. The clock runs faster as you level up, but only to
a point. It never becomes impossible.
🙂 Levels
🌱 Sprout: four shapes and no clock. 🧭 Scout: five shapes, beat the clock. 🏆 Ace: seven shapes and a tight clock.
Fewer shapes means more matches, so Sprout is the busiest board.
