Description

The goal of the game is to reach the highest score by making vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines of at least 5 matching objects.

At each turn, select an object and move it to an empty cell. This cell must be reachable by a series vertical and horisontal steps through a set of empty cells. Objects cannot jump over occupied cells.

Tap on an object to select it. Being selected, the object jumps inside a cell. Tapping on the same or another object deselects this one. Tap on a desired cell to move a selected object.

When a move produces a line, this line will disappear and you will be offered a second turn. Otherwise, 3 new objects will appear on the board.
