Features

It's dangerous to go alone

  • Full solo or co-op campaign with puzzle levels, matches versus AI, rescue missions and bosses! (offline)
  • Beat the online adventure by defeating 3 opponents in a row, but lose and start all over (online 1v1 or 2v2).
  • Or practice the online adventure against AI opponents, get familiar with the levels and tune your tactics (offline 1v1 or 2v2).
  • Play against your friends in 1v1 or 2v2 matches (offline).

Your plan at your pace

  • Move pieces left, right, down and up! Pieces don't descend by themselves. Take your time to think, and move fast when you can!
  • Not happy with the pieces in your field? Just flush them away by holding the flush button.
  • You can switch between 2 fields. So you don't need to mess up your amazing combo if something else needs to be done first.
  • (and there's no garbage from your opponent)

Keeping online alive

  • Play the game while searching for an online match.
  • Find opponents all over the world. The game is designed for a high ping (600ms)
