Gem Rush is an endless Match-3 game. Swap adjacent gems, make lines of three or more, and keep the board alive as rows keep rising from below. Every match clears gems and sends new ones falling from above. A row timer pushes fresh gems up from the bottom. Clear faster, chain cascades, and earn time back on the clock — or watch the board fill. Match four in a row to spawn a rocket. Swipe to fire and clear an entire row. Build combos, chase huge scores, and survive as long as you can before the board fills. Need breathing room? Five power-ups help you fight back — shuffle when you're stuck, freeze incoming rows, blast a 3×3 area, clear a whole color, or pull off a wildcard swap. Earn coins each run and buy more from the shop between games. HOW IT WORKS • Endless Match-3 — one mode, one board, one goal: beat your best score • Gems fall from the top after every clear • New rows push in from below — pressure never stops • Match 4 spawns a rocket — swipe horizontally to blast a full row • Match clears add time back to the row timer • Five power-ups — shuffle, freeze row, blast, color bomb, and wildcard swap • Earn coins every run to buy power-ups from the shop • Track run score and personal best every time • Satisfying match glow, cascades, and snappy animations • Pick up and play in seconds — no energy timer Swap. Clear. Survive. One more run!
