HOW TO PLAY • Tap any product on the front row to send it to the belt • Three identical products on the belt clear instantly • Products hide behind each other — take the front one to reveal the next • The belt has only 5 slots: fill it with no match and the level is over • Empty the whole shelf to complete the level FEATURES • 120 levels — the first 24 hand-tuned, then the difficulty keeps climbing • Every board is verified solvable before you ever see it • Combo multiplier: keep matching fast and score up to 5x • Customer orders with a patience timer — serve them for bonus coins • Star goals per level: finish it, beat the par time, complete the orders • 4 boosters: undo, hint, shuffle and an extra belt slot • Daily bonus streak, plus a high score and a personal time record per level • 14 hand-drawn products: bottles, jars, cans, chips, cupcakes and more • Puzzle levels play without a network connection — no account, no lives, no waiting between levels.
