Gameplay

Line up 4 candies and capsules horizontally or vertically to clear lines of them. When a capsule set is complete, points are awarded based on how many candies are captured. The more candies that are captured at the same time, the more points the player is awarded. To complete a level, the player must clear all the candies in the jar.

On higher difficulties, bomb blocks will drop down. Align these with a colour on the screen and all the extra capsule pieces will be cleared.

The game speed gradually increases per level, depending on how many capsules have appeared.

The game difficulty sets the number of active coloured candies on the screen:

• Easy: 3
• Medium: 4
• Hard: 5

If the capsules 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.
