Catch falling colored tiles to form matching rows, columns, or diagonals, clearing them from the board to progress. As the game advances, tiles descend at higher speeds and arrive in increasing color varieties. Each level demands specific pattern requirements to succeed, forcing players to adapt their strategy to increasingly complex tile configurations.
