How to play
- Tap a tile, then tap another tile with the same picture.
- If the two can be joined by a line made of at most three straight segments (two turns) that passes only through empty spaces, both disappear. The line may travel around the outside edge of the board.
- Clear every tile before the time bar empties. Each match adds a second back.
Levels
Each level adds more kinds of tiles. From level 3 the remaining tiles slide down, left, up or right after every match, which opens new paths and closes others. You get three hints and three shuffles per level, and the board shuffles itself for free if no pairs are left.
Scoring
A pair is worth 10 points. Matching again within three seconds builds a combo that multiplies the score, and seconds left on the clock are added as a bonus at the end of the level.
Tips
- Start with tiles on the outer edge – they are easy to connect around the border.
- When a picture appears four times, think about which pair to clear first so the other pair isn’t trapped.
- On sliding levels, clear from the side the tiles slide toward, so the board opens up.
- Keep a steady rhythm for combos, but don’t rush into a dead end.
