FEATURES • Three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard • Game Center leaderboards for each difficulty • Customizable theme colors • Music and sound effects with separate volume controls • Play on iPhone and iPad • Play the puzzle offline; Game Center and purchases require a connection • Free to play, with no ads • Seven additional themes available together through one optional in-app purchase HOW TO PLAY Tap a flower, then tap an empty space to move it there. A clear path must connect the two spaces. Make a line of at least five matching flowers in any of the three directions to clear it. A star is a wildcard and can complete a line with any flower type. If your move doesn't clear a line, three new pieces appear. Watch the upcoming pieces, leave room to move, and aim for your next high score. The game ends when the board is full.
