More about this game
Your goal is to connect all matching colored nodes on the board without crossing any paths. You start with a timer of 30, and clearing a board adds 8 to your clock, up to a maximum of 90. The game gets harder as you play, with gravity shifts every 15 seconds and grid rotations every 20 seconds disrupting your plans. If you score enough points, Double Time activates, draining your timer twice as fast. The run ends when your clock hits zero.
Tips
- Connect nodes within 5 seconds of each other to build your combo multiplier up to 2.5x, which increases your score and coin rewards.
- Save your Time Freeze power-up for when Double Time activates to counteract the 2x timer drain, as you only start with 2 uses.
- Keep an eye on the moving obstacles; they shift to a new empty space every time you successfully complete a connection on the board.
Questions
What happens when the board rotates?
Every 20 seconds, a Chaos Event occurs, rotating the entire grid 90 degrees. Your existing paths are kept, but you will need to adjust your strategy for the new layout.
How do I get more time?
You earn 1.5 seconds for every successful connection and an 8 bonus for clearing the entire board. Your clock caps at a maximum of 90.
What is Double Time?
When you reach certain score thresholds, starting at 20,000 points, Double Time activates for 5 seconds. This causes your clock to drain twice as fast until the event ends.
