Refraktor is a hypnotic neon match-3 puzzle where every move sends light cascading through a board of luminous crystals. Match gems of the same color and shape to clear the board before your moves run out. As levels grow harder, you'll need to think fast, combo deep, and spend your boosters wisely.
