Signs is a fun and addictive puzzle game. If you like oldie game Popcap Alchemy Classic you will love this puzzle game. How to play? When you put an item on the board, the tile becomes golden. The aim of the game is to convert all the tiles on the board to gold. You must put down items next to the ones with the same symbol or same color. When you form a line vertically or horizontally, the items on the line will be removed, gives you more space to work. If there is no suitable place for the current item or if you don't want to put it on the board, you can throw it to the trash can. The game will be over if you can't put the item on the board and the trash can is full. Simply tap the trash can and end the game. Your progress will be saved automatically. So you can continue from where every you left. You can share your end game board and scores with your friends.
