Read full description

New sensations triple match puzzle game! Swipe, tap, or flick the arrow blocks (YAZI) that appear one after another to align three or more in a row in the same direction. YAZI appear in pairs from the top of the screen and are swiped to move, tapped to rotate, and flicked to drop onto the field. Let's align YAZI dropped on the field in the same direction. [Basic Rule] ・The number on the YAZI is the HP, which can be reduced by one for every three align YAZI. ・The YAZI that didn't disappear has the property of rotating 90 degrees to the right and changing direction. ・After rotation, YAZI action with two or more, not three align. ・You can't drop to already droped YAZI ・It can't be dropped on YAZI that has already dropped onto the field. ・However, it can be dropped on YAZI of the same type.In that case, HP will be combined. ・HP is limited to a maximum of 5 and cannot be stacked beyond that. You use property of rotating 90 degrees to the right that let's aim for combo! Some black YAZI have a barrier, and you'll have to combo them together to remove the barrier. [Has 2 modes] You can play 2 modes that STAGE MODE to clear quotas and ENDLESS MODE to erase unlimited black YAZI. ENDLESS MODE appears when all the STAGE MODE are cleared! STAGE MODE: Total 50 stages. Each stage has a set quota, and the goal is to clear the stage by achieving the quota within the time limit. ・Erase all YAZI: Anyway, the stage is cleared when the specified number of YAZI are erased. ・Erase YAZI in the specified direction: Clear when the specified number of YAZI in the specified direction is erased. ・Erase black YAZI: Clear when all black YAZI in the field are erased. ・Achive Combo: Clear when combo a specified number of times. ENDLESS MODE: In this mode, you just erase the black YAZI falling on the stage. There is no time limit, and damage accumulates as you drop the YAZI. Clear the stage by erasing the black YAZI before the damage reaches 100.
