Chain perfect passes to build a Rush streak and push your score higher before your lives run out. POLARITY Your orbs become a blue circle and a pink diamond, and each gate shows exactly where each one must go. Tap the left side to rotate left, the right side to rotate right. Match them perfectly to grow your SYNC streak. DAILY CHALLENGE A new challenge every day with its own rules and target score.
