Drop vertical trios of gems into a well six cells wide and thirteen tall, and line up three or more of a colour horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The trio never rotates; you can only cycle the order of its colours, so choosing which gem sits at the bottom is the heart of every move. Nine stages through Sena's crystal glasshouse, from Dawn to Starlight, each add one new goal, and clearing Noon opens the Endless Crystal mode.
How to play
- Choose a stage. Nothing falls until you first move or cycle, so take your time with the opening.
- Move with the side buttons, ←→ or A/D, and cycle the colour order with the cycle button, ↑/W or a tap on the well. Each cycle brings the top colour down to the bottom.
- Tap the drop button, press Space or Enter, or swipe down to drop at once. Holding the drop button or ↓/S makes the trio fall faster only while held. Gamepad: D-pad, A cycles, B drops.
- Three or more of one colour in a line disappear and the gems above settle. If settling gems match again, the chain continues; each gem scores 10 points times the chain step.
- Every stage has a gem target, and some add a chain count or a diagonal-clear goal. Meeting all goals clears the stage and adds 400 points.
- The run ends if the spot where new trios appear is blocked, or if a trio comes to rest sticking out above the well.
Strategy tips
- New trios appear at the top of the fourth column from the left. If that column fills first the run ends even with other columns empty, so keep the centre low.
- Check the gold outlines before dropping. They mark gems that would clear right now, and the forecast under Target shows the expected clear count and chain. The Preview button turns this off. The next trio's colour order is also shown, so plan two drops at a time.
- In Morning Dew and Chain Garden, which have chain goals, stack a matching colour one layer higher so it drops into a match after the gems below clear. Every drop that reaches a chain of two or more counts once.
- Diagonal House needs nine gems cleared on diagonals. Building columns of different heights like a staircase makes diagonal lines much easier.
- Crystal Bed starts on three rows of crystals laid so none match. Drop fitting colours into the gaps and dig through the bed layer by layer.
