Combos
Combos are created by connecting smaller square pieces with larger ones near the bottom of the level, removing them completely. To do this, pop pieces above the similarly colored ones so they crashing down to remove them. You can either remove large formations or single squares to make the pieces drop down. Focus on the columns that are closest to touching the top of the screen first. At times you can remove just a single piece to trigger combos. Remove such tiles at the correct time to start longer combos. Work from the bottom and watch the left and right columns, as they seem to be the most difficult to control. Keep them as low as possible. Combos are more likely to remove tiles from the middle, allowing you to focus on the sides. Remove as many tiles as possible from the bottom to allow the top ones to create combos themselves.Power-ups
There are three power-ups that are given randomly every 100 to 150 points scored. Save them until they can be used most effectively.
-3 power-up
Removes the bottom three lines of the board. You can then focus on removing a few colors on the top. Use it when you have at least one column growing very high and you need extra moves to clear tiles.
Stop power-up
Removes a match without a new row appearing. Use it when you have to remove a single tile from the board.
Target power-up
Removes all tiles of the color you tap, allowing you to trigger combos and clear the board. Use it when you have a lot of tiles on the board and select the most useful color to remove.
