How to play

1. Press Play to open level 1, First sparkle (a 7×8 board with 18 moves). Check the moves left and the remaining count for each goal at the top.
2. Tap a group of two or more crystals of one colour touching up, down, left or right. They pop together, crystals above fall and new ones fill the gaps. Tapping a lone crystal does not use a move.
3. Pop 5 to 6 at once for a rocket (a column if the group is taller than it is wide, a row otherwise), 7 to 8 for a bomb that clears the 5×5 around it, and 9 or more for a prism that clears every crystal of its colour. Specials appear where you tapped, and firing one by tapping it uses a move.
4. Frost melts when the crystal on it pops or a group pops right next to it. Crates never fall; break them by popping beside them or catching them in a blast (crates with two dots take two hits).
5. Meet every goal before your moves run out. Finishing with at least a third of the moves left earns ★★★, two or more ★★, and each unused move adds 150 points.
6. Clearing a level unlocks the next cave in Choose stage. You can also pop with the arrow keys plus Enter or Space, or a gamepad's D-pad plus A.

Strategy tips

• Rather than popping a big group straight away, clear small groups first to join crystals of the same colour. Pops of five or more add 15 points per crystal and make a special.
• A special caught in another special's blast fires too. Build a rocket next to a bomb and set them off together to clear a wide area for one move.
• On boards with a frost goal, work the lower groups sitting on frost first. Frost right beside a popped group melts as well, so popping along the frost edge is efficient.
• A crate is only hit once per tap. On boards full of two-dot crates, such as Sturdy crates, popping several small groups beside them is more reliable than one big blast.
• When you are unsure, press H or Hint. It makes a spot that serves your open goals sparkle, uses no moves and can be used as often as you like.
