Block Fighter
Go head-to-head against a rival in a falling-gem battle. Win by making your opponent's board overflow — the fight is lost when a board's spawn column (marked by the red arrow) fills to the top.
The Basics
- Pairs of gems fall onto your board. Move them with ← → (or A/D), rotate with ↑ / X / Z, drop faster with ↓ (or S), and slam them down with Space. On a touchscreen, use the buttons along the bottom.
- Gems come in four colors. They stack where they land — horizontal pairs split and each half falls to its own column.
Crash Gems
The round, glowing orbs are Crash Gems. When a Crash Gem touches any gem of its own color, it destroys the entire connected group of that color. This is your only way to clear gems — plan your stacks so one Crash Gem wipes out a big cluster.
Power Gems
Build a solid rectangle of one color (2×2 or bigger) and it fuses into a giant Power Gem. Power Gems count extra when destroyed, so building big before you crash sends a much bigger attack.
Chains
When gems are destroyed, everything above falls. If that drop brings another Crash Gem into contact with its color, you get a chain — and every link in the chain multiplies your attack.
Counter Gems
Attacks land on the enemy board as Counter Gems — numbered blocks that can't be crashed right away. Each number ticks down once per piece you drop; at zero they become normal gems. You can also destroy a Counter Gem early by clearing gems of its color right next to it. If you attack while garbage is queued against you, your attack cancels it out first.
The Diamond
Every 25th piece carries a Diamond. It destroys every gem of whatever color it lands on — a great panic button, but it sends a weaker attack.
The Ladder
Each level is a single battle against one fighter. Beat them to unlock the next — opponents get smarter and faster as you climb. Lose, and you can retry as many times as you like.
