The challenge in front of you
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Follow these playing steps
- Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
- Matched pieces disappear.
- Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
- Reach the target before running out of moves.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap adjacent cells. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
One detail worth checking
A swap making no match is reverted. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
