How to play
Swap two neighbouring gems to line up three or more of the same shape; they disappear and the gems above drop down. A swap that makes no line is undone and costs nothing. Each stage shows its goals above the board: reach a score, collect a number of gems of some shapes, or clear the gold squares by making lines on them. Reach every goal before the moves run out. Line up four for a line gem, which clears its whole row or column when it is matched. Line up five, or make an L or T shape, for a burst gem, which clears the gems around it. A clear earns one star, two with a fifth of the moves left and three with a third left. Clearing a stage opens the next. If no swap is left, the gems are mixed again. After a while without a move, two gems that make a line pulse as a hint.
