"Infinite mode" is an innovative game based on the classic mode. We have made a lot of innovations on the basis of the classic “Pop Star” gameplay, allowing the star matrix of the game to increase infinitely. After each level, the star matrix will increase in both horizontal and vertical directions. When you play to the 90th level, you will have to eliminate 10,000 stars. Such a design allows players to constantly challenge larger star matrices in the game. Players can even eliminate hundreds or thousands of stars at once through carefully designed elimination ideas and the use of color-changing props. This kind of full-screen star explosion scene will make you feel awesome! This game will test your strategy and eyesight, bringing you endless fun. As the game enters the later levels, with the increase in the number of stars, it will also test the player’s patience. *Infinite Mode Game Play Introduction* 1 Basic elimination gameplay: Find stars of the same color that are adjacent in the up, down, left, and right directions, and click to eliminate them. This is also the original classic gameplay of “Pop Star”. 2 Infinitely large star matrix: The original classic version of “Pop Star” will challenge the elimination of 120 stars, but here, you will face hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of stars composed of matrices. 3 Star matrix zoom: The game will automatically zoom the star matrix, and players can use two fingers to slide the screen to zoom in or out of the matrix, just like zooming photos in the mobile album. 4 Star matrix movement: When the matrix becomes very large, only a part of the star matrix can be displayed on the screen. Fingers click on the matrix and slide on the screen, you can move the star matrix and display the part of the star matrix you want to eliminate in the screen. 5 Increasing difficulty: As the star matrix expands, the level’s requirements for scores will become more stringent. 6 Use of auxiliary props: After eliminating a certain number of stars, the props of the corresponding color will be activated. Using this prop can change the stars of other colors in the star matrix to the color of the current prop. Using props can make chain eliminations and get high scores. If you carefully design the elimination ideas, it is possible to eliminate hundreds or thousands of stars at once. *Classic Mode Game Play Introduction* 1 Simply click on two or more blocks of the same color, then the blocks will be destroyed. 2 There is no time limit, just use your brain think the best click steps. 3 The more block you destroyed , the high score you will get. 4 Try to clear all blocks, you will get more bonus points and make new record. 5 There is no time limit, but each stage has target points to proceed to next stage Come on and download the puzzle game!
