Read full description

This app is a unique puzzle match-3 game based on the principle of "creation before elimination." Unlike traditional match-3 games, players cannot directly eliminate primary elements (red, yellow, blue). Instead, you must combine two different primary elements to synthesize advanced elements (orange, green, purple), then match and eliminate these advanced elements to complete each level's objectives. With vibrant visuals inspired by painter's palettes and alchemical magic, each level introduces new challenges, special power-ups, and strategic depth. Enjoy smooth animations, clever mechanics, and a fresh twist on the classic match-3 genre! Key Features: Innovative synthesis & elimination mechanics 8x8 dynamic game board with vivid visuals Challenging levels with clear objectives and move limits Special elements & obstacles for advanced strategies Progress saving and intuitive UI
