How to play

  1. Place the three offered gem shapes in any order on the 8×8 board. Drag a shape, or select it and then select its top-left position on the board. Shapes cannot rotate or overlap other gems.
  2. Fill a whole row or column to break its gems. All lines completed by one placement break together. Gems do not fall. Use all three shapes to receive another batch.
  3. Each placed gem scores 1 point. Clearing 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 lines in one move scores a base of 10, 20, 60, 120, or 200 points. For more lines, the base is 10 × lines × (lines − 1). Multiply the base by your current combo.
  4. The first clear starts combo ×1. Each further clearing move increases it by one. Three placements in a row without a clear reset it. Emptying the board adds 300 points.
  5. There is no timer. The run ends when none of your remaining shapes fits. Practice runs stay in this browser when storage is available. Ranked runs are saved to your account; only completed runs count toward rankings.

Keyboard: Select a shape with 1, 2, or 3. Use arrow keys to choose its top-left position, Enter or Space to place it, and Escape to deselect.
