More about this game
The goal is to score as many points as possible within the 60-second time limit. The core loop involves swapping adjacent gems to create matches of three or more, which clears them and allows new gems to fall into place. Matching quickly builds your fuse meter, eventually triggering an overdrive state where matches explode for massive points. The game ends when the timer reaches zero, and your final score is recorded on the leaderboard.
Tips
- Match four gems to create a striped ribbon, or five to create a rainbow prism. Swapping two special gems together creates a massive combined effect.
- Keep your matching speed high to build the fuse meter faster. When the meter is full, you enter overdrive mode, turning your first match into a bomb.
- You start each round with exactly one reroll. Save it for when you are stuck or want to shuffle the board to set up a massive combo.
Questions
How do I create special gems?
Match four gems to create a striped ribbon, which clears a whole row or column. Match five in an L or T shape for a bomb, or five in a row for a rainbow prism.
What happens when the fuse meter fills up?
Matching gems quickly builds your fuse meter. When it is completely full, you enter overdrive mode. In this state, your initial matches explode like bombs, clearing a large radius of gems.
What happens if there are no moves left?
If the board has no legal moves, it will automatically shuffle the gems so you can keep playing. You can also manually use your one reroll button to mix the board.
