Help and frequently asked questions
How do I play?
Drag sideways to move the piece, tap the board to swap the colors around, swipe up to rotate and swipe down to drop. Line up 3 or more blocks of the same color in a row or column.
What are specials?
4 in a row make a Striped (clears the row or column), 5 in a T or L a Bomb (blasts around it) and 5 in a straight line a Rainbow (removes a whole color). They explode on their own 2 seconds after forming, and two touching specials fuse into a bigger explosion.
What are the game modes?
Levels (400 levels with goals and stars), Endless Mode (pieces speed up nonstop), Zen (no game over), Time Attack (2 minutes), Daily Challenge (the same sequence for everyone) and Friend Challenge.
How does Friend Challenge work?
In More modes → Friend Challenge, tap Create challenge and then Share code. Whoever receives the code joins on the same screen and plays the same 40 pieces; the challenge scoreboard shows who scored more points. The code stays saved so you can come back later.
What is the weekly league?
Every week you compete against players in the same league, from Bronze to Master. At the end of the week the top players move up a league and earn coins, and the last ones may drop down.
How do lives work?
Starting a level costs 1 life, and completing it gives the life back. One life comes back every 20 minutes, up to 5. You can earn lives on the daily wheel, by sharing your result or by watching an ad.
I lost the same level several times. Now what?
After 3 defeats in a row, the game turns on Assist mode: the level starts slower and with more breathing room. Assisted games do not enter the level leaderboard.
How do purchases work?
Coins, the Starter pack and Remove ads are sold only in the app downloaded from Google Play, and the price on the button comes from Google Play itself. Every purchase is confirmed with Google Play before the item is added; if confirmation takes a while, the item arrives automatically later.
How do I use the same progress on my phone and on the website?
In the game, open Settings → Account and cloud and create a login with e-mail and password. Sign in with it on the other device or on the website. You can also use the transfer code in Settings → Cloud progress.
I installed the APK from the website. How do I switch to the Play version?
Write down the code in Settings → Cloud progress, uninstall the game and install it from Google Play. Then use Restore with code, in Settings, to recover your levels, coins and items.
How does the leaderboard prevent cheating?
Every game is opened on the server with an official seed and, when it ends, the server replays the whole game from your inputs. Only scores that match are accepted.
Does the game work offline?
Yes. Without a connection the game works normally; only records stay off the leaderboard, because games without the server's seed cannot be verified.
The app is slow or flickering.
In Settings, turn on Battery saver and turn off Screen shake. If the problem continues, write to us with your device model.
How do I delete my account?
In the game, go to Settings → Delete my account; or on the website, on the account deletion page, using the transfer code or your login e-mail and password. Deletion erases your nickname, records and cloud progress, and cannot be undone.
