Frequently asked questions

Swipe anywhere on the screen. Every orb on the board slides in that direction at the same time and keeps going until it hits a wall, a stone or another orb. Get every orb into the slot of its own color at the same time to finish the level.

Ringed orbs are mirror orbs: they always slide in the opposite direction of your swipe. One swipe creates two opposite moves, so plan for both.

Each level has a target: the fewest moves it can be solved in, calculated by a solver. Finish within the target for 3 stars, a few moves over for 2 stars, and with any other number of moves for 1 star.

You start with 3 hints. You earn more the first time you finish a level with 3 stars, for each day’s daily puzzle, for daily quests, streak rewards and the weekly and bonus puzzles. You can also watch an optional ad for extra hints.

Undo and restart are unlimited and free. If you ask for a hint in a position that can no longer be solved, the level restarts and the hint shows you the first move.

No. Levels are generated endlessly and each one is checked by a solver, so every level can be solved. Every 20 levels a new world with its own colors begins, and new mechanics appear along the way.

A new puzzle every day, the same for every player. Solve it on consecutive days to build your streak. A streak shield covers a missed day by itself, and you get a new one every month. In the calendar you can also play puzzles you missed in the last 30 days.

Some buttons offer a short ad in exchange for something in the game, such as extra hints, saving a streak, a missed or bonus puzzle, skipping a level or progress towards an orb skin. They are always optional, and every button says what it gives. Puzzles are never interrupted by an ad.
