How to Play

Place colorful blocks on the grid and match 3 or more same-colored cells in a row to clear them and score points. The more chains you create, the higher your score!

Each turn, you'll receive three different block shapes to choose from. Blocks come in various shapes - from single cells to complex polyominoes.

• Select a block by clicking or tapping on it
• Drag it to your desired position on the grid
• Release to place the block
• Blocks can only be placed in empty spaces

When you connect 3 or more cells of the same color horizontally or vertically, they'll be cleared from the board!

• Horizontal matches: 3+ same-color cells in a row
• Vertical matches: 3+ same-color cells in a column
• Diagonal doesn't count: Only orthogonal connections matter
• Larger matches score more points!

This is where the magic happens! After cells are cleared, gravity pulls remaining blocks downward. This can create new matches automatically!

• Chain x2: A match triggers another match
• Chain x3: Two consecutive automatic matches
• Chain x4+: You're becoming a master!

Your score is calculated based on:

• Cells cleared: More cells = more points
• Chain multiplier: Cascading matches multiply your score
• Combo bonus: Quick successive placements boost your score

The scoring formula rewards strategic play and long chain reactions over simple matches. Plan ahead for maximum points!

The game ends when you can't place any of your three available blocks on the grid. Keep the board clear to survive longer!

• Watch your available space carefully
• Don't let the grid fill up completely
• Sometimes clearing smaller matches prevents bigger problems

• Plan ahead: Look at all three blocks before placing
• Create setups: Position colors to cascade when matched
• Keep space: Leave room for larger blocks
• Think vertically: Gravity is your friend for chain reactions
• Stay patient: Sometimes waiting for the right moment pays off
