Move blocks horizontally and make them fall into gaps they fit. When three blocks of the same color touch each other, they blast and leave you the stickers on them. With each move, the screen rises one row and new blocks appear from below. Complete the objective before blocks reach the chipper. When you are stuck you can use Hammer and Firecracker skills. Break blocks with the "Hammer" and tidy up your board.. Use "Firecrackers" to break a complete row of blocks and collect their stickers. Become a Connect Trio master by clearing the screen with perfect combos and collecting all stickers.
