## What is Collapse?

Tap. Collapse. Think again.

Collapse looks simple: tap any group of same-colored blocks and it vanishes, the board tumbles down and snaps left. The twist? Every tap costs you — and you never have enough.

A huge group and a single block cost exactly the same: one tap. So the obvious move is usually the wrong one. Real players clear one color to gather another, set up cascades, and finish the board in the fewest taps possible.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap a connected group of one color — it explodes
• Blocks fall down, empty columns close to the left
• Clear the whole board before your taps run out
• Hit the solver-proven minimum for 3 stars

MECHANICS THAT KEEP IT FRESH
• Ice — can't be tapped; crack it with a blast next door
• Bombs — detonate from nearby explosions and wipe their neighbours 
• Mechanics blend gradually — no two levels feel the same

FAIR BY DESIGN
Every level is verified by a solver before it ships: the exact minimum number of taps is known, shown on screen, and always achievable. No luck, no lives, no timers — pure planning.

FEATURES
• 120 levels across 6 chapters
• Smart hints that show the actual optimal move
• One free undo every level
• Daily hint refill — come back tomorrow
• Clean, juicy visuals and satisfying sounds
• Colorblind-friendly mode (shape symbols)
• Small download, works fully offline

Three stars on every level is the real game. Think you can hit the minimum?
