The controls are simple: - Turn Controls: Touch the inner-side of a hexagon, and turn it in the direction you want to rotate (like a wheel). (One-Touch Controls also available in Settings) Three game modes provide endless fun: Classic Mode: In maximum 2 moves, match at least 3 shapes of equal color. Stars: Match 4+ shapes of equal color to create a Star. Paths: Matching 4+ shapes also creates a color path on the hexagon sides where the match happened. Full Hexagons: When a hexagon's sides are all the same color, a Full Hexagon is created and the entire board is cleared. Combos: When all of a hexagon's shapes are matched, a Combo piece is created using the colors of those matches. Builder: When a large match is possible with 2+ moves, use the Builder tool to append matches together. The first move MUST create a Match. Every additional move must increase one of the following, without decreasing any of the others: - Total matched shapes - Total Star points created - Total Combo colors created Score: Create Stars, Combos, and Full Hexagons to grow your score faster. Levels: Match as many shapes as possible to Level Up faster. Swaps: Use Swaps to change the color of a selected Circle on the board to a different color. Leveling Up generates more Swaps. The game is over when no moves exist. Speed Mode: Same rules as Classic, but match as much as possible before the Timer reaches zero. Also no Builder/Swaps/Levels to keep things simple and quick. In maximum 2 moves, match at least 3 shapes of equal color. Time Coins: Time Coins add seconds to the timer. Time Coin values start at 3, decrease to 2 after 30 seconds, and then decrease to 1 after another 30 seconds. Also, Time Coins are inserted after every match when their value is 3 or 2. However, when the Time Coin value reaches 1, they are inserted with decreasing probability as the game progresses. Stars: Match 4+ shapes of equal color to create a Star. Paths: Matching 4+ shapes also creates a color path on the hexagon sides where the match happened. Full Hexagons: When a hexagon's sides are all the same color, a Full Hexagon is created and the entire board is cleared. Combos: When all of a hexagon's shapes are matched, a Combo piece is created using the colors of those matches. Score: Create Stars, Combos, and Full Hexagons to grow your score faster. The game is over when the Timer reaches zero, or when no moves exist. Fusion Mode: Same rules as Classic, but now you get to choose where new colors go. Placements: There are 4 Color Pairs around the Board that can be placed in the board where they fit at any time. Toggles: Tapping on Color Pairs toggles their formation. Toggle Color Pairs so they fit in preferred spots. Match at least 3 shapes of equal color via Rotations and/or Placements. Each rotation generates a new Color Pair. When all 4 Color Pair spots are filled, Rotations are blocked and a Placement must be made. Stars: Match 4+ shapes of equal color to create a Star. Paths: Matching 4+ shapes also creates a color path on the hexagon sides where the match happened. Full Hexagons: When a hexagon's sides are all the same color, a Full Hexagon is created and the entire board is cleared. Combos: When all of a hexagon's shapes are matched, a Combo piece is created using the colors of those matches. Score: Create Stars, Combos, and Full Hexagons to grow your score faster. The game is over when no moves exist. Website: spyraverse.com Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter: @spyraverse Thanks for Playing!
