Let’s start! Move the colorful blocks through the color-matching gates, crush them, and let the pieces on the conveyor fill buckets of and melt. It’s that simple! Are you ready for this relaxing and ASMR puzzle challenge? > Hold and drag the colorful blocks on the board and guide them through gates of the same color! > Blocks that pass through the gates break into pieces and move onto the conveyor! > Pieces on the conveyor fill the buckets of the same color and melt away! But keep these in mind: > Each block has a number on it. This number shows how many pieces will go into the bucket when the block breaks. > The numbers on the buckets show their capacity. > You can see the conveyor capacity at the bottom of the board. As more pieces collect on the conveyor, this capacity fills up—don’t let it overflow! Easy to play, fun, and a great puzzle experience is waiting for you. Can you complete all the levels?
