How to play
  • Swap two neighbor gems (tap one, then the other, or drag). A swap must line up 3 or more of one color.
  • Clusters: a match also takes every same-color gem touching it, and gems touching those. The whole cluster counts toward the special below.
  • 4 gems make a Line gem. Clear it to wipe its whole row or column.
  • 2×2 square (just the 4) also counts as a match and makes a Bomb. It blasts the 3×3 around it.
  • 5 or more gems, or an L or T (3 high and 3 wide), make a Prism. 7 or more add a bonus Bomb. Swap it with any gem to clear every gem of that color.
  • Double match: one swap that makes two separate matches earns a Nova on top of each match's own special. A Nova clears its row and its column.
  • Swap two specials together for a bigger blast. Prism + Line or Bomb turns that whole color special.
  • Chain reactions: a special caught in any clear or blast always goes off. A Prism hit this way takes a neighbor's color and clears every gem of it.
  • Stones (from level 3) can't move. Match next to them to crack them, or blast them. Later stones take 2–3 hits.
  • A new color joins at level 4 and level 8 (7 at most). More colors means fewer matches, so each gem is worth more.
  • Chains score more: each cascade step multiplies points.
  • No moves left? Any specials left on the board go off first. If that still leaves no move, a fresh board drops in. The game never ends.
  • Your game saves itself. Come back any time.
