Complete each level by earning points, breaking ice tiles, or collecting coins—all within a set number of moves. Earn special power-ups: - Magic Planets: Match five planets in a row or column to create a magic planet.

Use it in a match to clear an entire row or column. - Discover combinations like T-chains and L-chains for massive point boosts.
