Drop falling jewel groups onto a board, rotate them, line up same-number tiles, and merge them into bigger ones. Each chain doubles your score, and pulling off a 5+ chain fires a fullscreen explosion across the playfield. A hybrid drop-merge puzzle built around the catharsis of nailing a huge chain combo. [Features] ■ Chain combos take center stage Score multipliers grow with each link in a chain — 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x at 5+ chains. Big chains shake the screen and unleash a fullscreen fireworks burst. The moment your planned chain detonates is pure satisfaction. After a 5+ chain the next piece holds for a beat so you can savor the explosion. ■ Multi-jewel falling pieces (1–4) 2-jewel pairs, 3-jewel I and L trominoes, and seven different 4-jewel tetromino shapes — every drop is a fresh shape-and-rotation puzzle. Set your max simultaneous count (1–4) in Custom Rules. ■ Fluid controls Slide left/right while falling to choose your column. Tap to rotate 90° clockwise. Quick down-swipe = hard drop. Hold a downward drag = soft drop. Move at your own tempo. ■ Existing-jewel priority merge When a multi-jewel piece lands with a same-value match next to a tile already on the board, that existing tile wins the merge — your planned chains land exactly the way you imagined. ■ Per-jewel split landing When a multi-jewel piece lands across uneven columns, each jewel falls independently to its own resting cell — opening up shape-aware play. ■ 11 customizable rules Column count (4–8), simultaneous jewel max (1–4), Timer mode, Wild jewels, Preview count, Danger bonus, Auto-clear, Initial tile placement, and more. Mix and match — practice mode to hardcore, the difficulty is yours. ■ Wild jewels Every 10th jewel is a Wild that bonds with any number. Clutch your way out of tight boards or seed a massive chain. ■ Danger zone While the top 2 rows are stacked, every merge gets a 2x multiplier. Every move walks the tightrope between risk and reward. ■ 1024+ auto-clear Merging into 1024 or higher automatically clears the lowest tile on the board. Disable it with the "No auto-clear" rule if you prefer. ■ Pause support Tap the top-left pause button to freeze the game any time. Swap apps, get a notification, or pull down Control Center and the game auto-pauses. Resume right where you left off. ■ Seed replay Past runs are saved with their fixed seed. Replay the same tile sequence and try again. "Same luck, better choices" — measure your skill against your past self. ■ 15 languages Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Turkish, Indonesian. ■ Game Center leaderboards Compete worldwide on three boards: all-time best score, daily best, and longest chain.
