How to play · Gems

OBJECTIVE

Swap two gems that sit next to each other to line up three or more of the same colour in a row or column. Matched gems clear, the gems above fall to fill the gaps, and chain reactions keep the points climbing.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Tap two gems that are next to each other (up, down, left or right), or swipe one toward the other, to swap their places.
  • A swap only sticks if it forms a line of three or more matching gems. If it would not, the gems swap back.
  • Cleared gems are replaced from above. When the falling gems make fresh matches on their own, that chain scores the most.

MAKE SPECIAL GEMS

  • Match 4 in a row to forge a line-clearer. When cleared it wipes its whole row (or column).
  • Match 5 in a row to forge a bomb. It clears every gem of one colour.
  • A special fires when you match or blast it, just like any gem.
