Just you, a board full of glossy tiles, and one more satisfying clear. ● SIMPLE TO PLAY, SATISFYING TO MASTER Tap once to preview a group and see the points on offer, tap again to clear it. Every board rewards a little planning — clear tiles in the right order to set up huge chain-clearing combos. ● ENDLESS LEVELS, ONE RUNNING SCORE Clear a board to advance to the next level and keep your score climbing.
