Hibana Chain

One finger. One tap. A spark runs the fuse and burns the board down. Tap a group of connected tiles of the same colour and a spark ignites there, running through every connected tile one by one. The only decision is where to light it. ■ The longer the fuse, the bigger the score The first tile on the route scores 1, the second 2, the third 3, and so on. A long route is worth far more per tile than a short one. Burning twenty tiles as a single fuse beats burning two groups of ten, every time. This is a game about connecting, not clearing. ■ Blow the board apart with kegs Kegs appear on the board now and then. When a spark passes next to one, its fuse lights and it detonates a third of a second later, clearing the 3x3 around it and igniting fresh sparks in any matching group the blast touches. A spark that came through a keg scores double, and chained kegs push the multiplier up to x8. Setting up a keg chain is the best thing in the game. ■ The board keeps rising Every tap pushes a new row up from the bottom, and the pace increases as you go — by the late game it is one row per tap. If any column reaches the top, the run is over. Tap a tile with no matching neighbours and you get a misfire: that single tile burns and an extra row rises immediately as a penalty. Careless tapping ends runs fast. ■ Clear the board for +300 Wipe out every tile and you get an all clear: a 300 point bonus, a freshly stocked board, and the run continues. ■ A run takes 2-4 minutes No account, no sign-up, no tutorial. Open it and tap. Your best score is kept on the device as the target for the next run. ■ Details - iPhone, portrait, one-handed - Playable without a network connection - No login, no personal information ■ About pricing The game is free and shows ads between runs.
