How the color matching game works

Swap two adjacent gems to make a line of three or more matching colors. You can tap two gems on desktop or swipe across the board on a touch device. The board refills after each match, so one good move can start a cascade.

  • Match 3 gems to clear them and earn points.
  • Match 4 gems to create a horizontal or vertical Line Blaster.
  • Make a T or L shape to create an Area Bomb.
  • Match 5 gems to create a Rainbow Gem.

Special gems and combo rules

Line Blaster
Clears a full row or column when activated.
Area Bomb
Clears a 3×3 area around the explosion.
Rainbow Gem
Clears gems of a selected color.
Special combos
Combine special gems for cross blasts, mega blasts, or a board-clearing explosion.

Scoring, moves, and objectives

Each level gives you a move limit and objectives such as reaching a score, collecting a color, or clearing ice tiles. Larger matches and chain reactions produce more points. Finish with moves remaining to earn a Rush Move bonus and improve your star rating.

Every starting board is generated without an immediate match and includes at least one valid move. When no move remains after a cascade, the board reshuffles automatically.

Tips for better matches

  • Look for a match near the bottom when you want to create cascades.
  • Save Rainbow Gems for colors that appear often on the board.
  • Use Line Blasters to reach hard-to-clear rows and columns.
  • Watch the objective tracker before spending your final moves.
  • On mobile, use a short swipe in the direction of the swap.
