The game uses a stack-based, vertical playfield where adjacent blocks are swapped to form groups of four or more matching colors. Matching groups vanish, causing blocks above them to fall and potentially trigger chain reactions. Those chains send garbage blocks to the rival side. In single-player, you face increasingly difficult CPU opponents. Success depends on reading the board quickly, managing stack height, and setting up delayed combos rather than making only small clears.

Keep the lower part of your board organized and build for chain reactions instead of chasing tiny clears. Leave room in the center so you can recover when garbage blocks arrive. If the CPU is pressuring you, clear safely first and then rebuild toward a larger combo. Learning the color flow of the falling pieces helps you prepare chain triggers in advance.
