Fast paced action mixed with familiar gameplay. Played against an ever decreasing timer, the player must place tiles of various shapes and colours onto the game grid, in an attempt to build large blocks of each colour.
Successfully creating a block will result in its removal from the game grid, along with any adjacent blocks of the same colour. The more tiles are removed, the more points are scored, and the more time is added to the timer.
As the players score increases, so does the number of different coloured tiles, making it ever harder to find a good place on the grid. But the player can buy themselves some extra time with cunning use of the X-Tiles, which are awarded for every 1000 points scored.
A familiar, yet original, and truly addictive game.
