How to play Match-3 Gems
Swap two neighbouring gems to line up three or more of the same colour in a row or column. Matched gems vanish, the gems above fall down and new ones drop in β chain reactions (cascades) score extra.
Controls
Swipe or drag a gem towards a neighbour, or tap a gem and then tap the neighbour to swap. A swap that makes no match bounces back and doesn't cost a move.
Special gems
- 4 in a row β a striped gem that clears its whole row or column when matched.
- L or T shape β a bomb that blows up the 3Γ3 area around it.
- 5 in a row β a rainbow orb. Swap it with any gem to remove every gem of that colour.
- Swap two specials together for huge combos (striped + bomb, orb + striped, orb + orbβ¦).
Levels
There are 40 levels. Score levels: reach the target score before you run out of moves. Jelly levels: clear every jelly cell (frozen ice cells need two hits). Moves left at the end become bonus points. Earn up to three stars per level. If no swap is possible the board reshuffles; if you wait a few seconds a hint wiggles.
