More about this game
Your goal is to reach the target score and collect a specific number of gems before running out of moves or time. Swap adjacent gems to create lines of three or more matching colors. Matching more than three gems creates powerful blasts that clear extra pieces. As you progress, levels introduce obstacles like ice, crates, and chains that require adjacent matches to break. A run ends when you complete the objectives or run out of moves or time.
Tips
- Matching four or more gems creates a cross blast that clears entire rows and columns.
- Focus on collecting the specific gem type required for the level objective to ensure you finish in time.
- Use the freeze power-up to pause the timer for 10 seconds if you're running low on time.
Questions
How do I break the ice and crates?
You can damage ice and crates by making a match directly adjacent to them. Some crates and ice blocks require multiple matches to completely break.
What do the power-ups do?
The hammer breaks a single cell, the bomb clears a 3x3 area, the rainbow clears all gems of one color, shuffle rearranges the board, and freeze stops the timer for 10 seconds.
How do I get more points?
Each matched gem gives you 5 points. Creating larger matches and triggering cascades will help you reach the target score faster.
