Game & Goal

Place the falling block through moving on the grid. Crystals will explode if there were 3 or more of the same color in one horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Cascades of explosions increase your score outcome. Every gem you destroy counts.

The game ends if the crystals on grid reach the top line or there is no more place for the falling block to start falling.

On every tenths level random crystals rise from bottom. In addition to normal crystals there is a Rainbow and a Magic Crystal. Both have special attributes. So the Rainbow Crystal count as every existing color and is just a joker. While the Magic Crystal destroy all crystals of the same color he lands on.
