Description

In an 8x8 tile playing area, the main goal is to line up horizontally or vertically at least 3 tiles of the same kind. There are 7 different kinds of tiles. In order to reach this goal, the player must select tiles and exchange them by surrounding ones. This exchange will be allowed only if it results in 3 or more tiles lined up. It will be undone otherwise.

An extra second of gameplay is awarded for each line created. There is also a special tile on every level that doubles the number of points (per line).

Game modes

• Normal - Each level requires the player to line up a particular number of tiles of each kind in 80 seconds. If this goal is achieved, the game advances to the next level, and if not the game ends.

• 100 tiles - The player has 120 seconds to line up 100 tiles of any kind. If this is achieved, the game advances to the next level.
