About

MellowGrid

Features
Read full description

MellowGrid is a 10×10 puzzle game where you clear groups of same-color gems and defeat slimes to move forward. Cleared gems are never refilled, so the order you clear them in matters. Tap two or more same-color gems connected up, down, left or right to clear them, and use three skills to push your score higher. The more gems you clear at once, the more points you get. When you finish a GATE's board with a total score at or above the clear line, you move on to the next GATE. Your score and remaining skills carry over to the new board. ■ SKILLS • Pulse: clears a 3×3 area • Prism: changes all gems of one color to another • Remix: randomizes the colors of the remaining gems ■ EASY TO PICK UP • No stamina and no gacha • Every GATE can be played without a purchase • Progress saves automatically so you can continue later • Gems differ in both color and shape • Options for music, sound effects, haptics, reduced motion and high contrast ■ RANKINGS Eligible play records are sent to the online rankings under an anonymous name. Without buying anything, you can see your personal best and compare it with the Kingdom benchmark. ■ FULL GAME (ad-free + ranking details, optional one-time purchase) • Removes ads • Shows weekly and all-time ranking details, including your rank and percentile • Does not unlock extra GATEs. Every GATE is free to play • Can be restored with the same store account While playing for free, ads may appear at natural breaks.
