Basic rules
Form lines of 3 or more identical Christmas icon to remove them from the field.
Select one icon.
Select another adjacent icon to have the two switch places.
If one of the icon forms a valid row, they disappear. Otherwise, the two return to their original places.
As you remove rows of icons, the game generates more which fall into position.
The game automatically clears any valid row that forms in one move.
These include those that form as the icons fall in to fill the empty space.
Clear as many lines as you can before the timer runs out.
To replenish the timer, match 3 or more clocks.
A row of 3 clocks grants you 3 extra seconds.
You gain an extra 3 seconds for every extra clock after the first three.
A row of 4 clocks, for instance, grants you 6 extra seconds.
When the timer runs out, the game ends.
Scoring
Each icon is worth 10 points. You can earn a minimum of 30 points in a single row.
If you set off a chain reaction there is a multiplier for how many steps there are in the chain.
A second match of 3 is worth 60 points (2×30).
A third match of 3 is worth 90 points (3×30).
A fourth match of 3 is worth 120 points (4×30).
It is best to play lower on the table whenever possible.
Making matches lower on the screen creates more relative movement above as more tiles move down past each other, making it easier to set off longer chain reactions.
You can view your high score on the game over screen and the welcome screen.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who celebrate Christmas and like match 3 games.
The game has no adult themed content.
