Crossmatch is a right-angle puzzle where you touch an empty tile to remove the nearest blocks of the same color in the four directions (up, down, left, and right). - How to get more points? Remove more blocks with a single touch. Removing 10 or more blocks of a single color will double your score for 10 seconds. (The multiplier increases cumulatively.) - How to have more fun? Emptying a horizontal row will allow you to use the effects of items in the first vertical row. Using items at the right time will make Crossmatch even more fun. - Want a higher score? Use the boosters located below the start button to boost your score.
