• Game Play
  • General
    • All colored blocks must be matched into rows or columns of 3 or more before you run out of moves.
    • If you have 4 of one type of tile it means you need to make a row of 4, as leaving one unmatched tile means game over. If you make a match of 4 you need to leave one of the two central tiles out of position until the other tiles are in place first so that you do not accidentally create a match of 3 first & remove some of the blocks prematurely.
    • If you run out of moves or have a leftover tile this game offers unlimited continues, starting you back at the beginning of the current level.
  • Block types
    • Basic – the blue, yellow, or red blocks must be matched vertically or horizontally in sets of 3 or more consecutive blocks to remove them from the playing field.
    • Rainbow – can be used as part of a match 3 (or more) with any of the other colors.
    • Concrete – these purple blocks can not be moved.
    • Wooden – these tiles can be switched with other blocks & you do not need to match off wooden blocks to beat the levels.
    • TNT – blasts the stone above, below, left & right of it if you click on it. You can also click and drag to move the TNT without setting it off. If the TNT blows up any of your basic blocks you lose the level.
    • Stones – these blocks can be blown up by nearby TNT.
    • Moving platforms – click on them to have them move in the direction the arrow points. To move them the destination they are moving to must be clear. A moveable block can be moved multiple times provided the movement destination is clear. If the platform has a red X on it then it is destroyed when clicked on & all tiles above it then fall to the bottom.
  • Levels
    • This game has 48 levels which must be completed sequentially.
    • You can earn a star rating by finishing a level using few moves.
    • You can replay any previously beat level you did not get a star rating on to try to earn a star rating.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for people who like to play breaker games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
