Gem Cascade
A fast candy-coloured match-3 against the clock: swap gems to line up three or more, build Line Blasts and Color Bombs, and clear stages to win extra seconds.
Gem Cascade is a sixty-second match-3 puzzle on a sweet candy-striped board. Swap any two neighbouring gems to line up three or more of the same shape and colour, and watch them pop while new gems tumble in from above. Falling gems often set off chain reactions, and every link in a cascade multiplies the points with rising musical notes and bursts of sparkles.
Bigger matches create power gems. Line up four for a Line Blast that sweeps a whole row or column, five for a Color Bomb that zaps every gem of the most common colour, and swap two bombs together for a board-wide mega blast. Each run is split into stages with score targets; reaching a target adds bonus seconds to the clock, and the opening stages use only five gem colours so the first moments are generous. From stage three a sixth colour joins in, making matches rarer and planning more important. Your best score and highest stage are saved, earning ranks from Sugar Cube to Sweet Sovereign.
This gem matching game is perfect for quick bursts of play. Tip: make matches near the bottom of the board, where the gems that fall afterwards are most likely to trigger free cascades.
How to play
Swap two neighbouring gems to make a line of three or more matching gems. Four in a line creates a Line Blast, five creates a Color Bomb. Chain cascades for multiplied points. Reach each stage's score target to earn bonus seconds. When the clock hits zero the run ends and your score is recorded.
