Gameplay

Move and drop columns of 3 onto the board. When colour blocks are arranged in (a minimum) of three-in-a-row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, the pieces will disappear, awarding the player points and shifting the other blocks down.

On occasion, bomb blocks will drop down. These will clear one colour from the screen.

The game speed gradually increases, depending on the number of blocks the player clears.

The game difficulty sets the number of active colour blocks on the screen:

• Easy: 4
• Medium: 5
• Hard: 6

If the blocks reach the top of the screen, the game ends. The player can also end the game anytime they wish when they pause a game. If the player had earned enough points, they can enter in a high score that is kept on the player's end.
