  • Controls & indicators
    • The left rail has the game’s controls.
      • At the top of the left column it shows your remaining level time, cumulative game score, and level number.
      • Under those data points are are 6 buttons to shuffle the remaining stones, take a hint, pause the game, switch to full screen mode, control game sound, and control game music.
    • You can flip the board layout horizontally using a button in the upper right corner.
      • Using that feature does not cost you points.
• Game Play
  • Open stones
    • A stone (or tile) is considered open if there is no tile directly on top of it & at least one of its left or right sides is open.
      • Only open tiles can be matched.
      • Tiles which are open turn red when selected & green when paired off.
      • The first tile of a pair which you select is shown in the upper right corner of the screen.
      • Tiles which are not open can’t be matched.
    • Identical tile matching
      • You can only match identical open tiles.
      • If you try to match tiles which are not identical it deselects the first tile.
    • When no matches remain the tiles are automatically shuffled.
      • Conversely, this means that if the tiles have not shuffled you know there is at least 1 open match remaining.
      • Open tiles have a yellow border on them when you have selected them.
        • If you chose the wrong tile then selecting any other non-matching tile will deselect the prior tile.
    • Some tiles from taller stacks can obscure part of tiles on shorter stacks. If you can’t find a match it might be because part of the tile is obfuscated.
      • Generally it is best to go for the widest rows and tallest columns first to open up the playing field, but the unlimited free shuffles makes that less important in this game.
  • Levels
    • This game has 40 levels with unique layouts & a custom time limit on each.
      • Levels tend to be arranged in tall stacks where most tiles are open, but the stacks can be 10 or more tiles deep.
    • Time limits
      • The time limit for first level is 5:20.
      • As you progress through the game time limits increase as the boards get more complex.
      • The second level offers 5:35, and so on.
    • Early levels tend to have around 40 tile pairs each, with later levels having more tiles.
    • You beat a level by removing all tiles from the playing field.
      • If there are multiple tiles remaining in a stack & no other tiles remain on the level then the level is also complete as shuffling can not display an open pair if the only remaining tiles are on top of each other.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across stages.
    • Each tile pair match you make is worth 200 points.
    • Each second you have remaining when you complete a level is worth 10 points.
    • Shuffling tiles costs 500 points.
    • Tile matching hints cost 300 points.
