        Scoring
        You score points based on how many pairs you make. Each merge earns points.
        Timer
        Underneath the score there is a timing meter which counts down.
        When it reaches zero a new line emerges from the bottom of the playing field pushing the current gems on the playing field upward.
        Moving gems
        You can move a gem from the top of any stack so long as it is not chained to another gem and there is an open space to move it to.
        An open space indicates the gem is the top gem on the stack and there is clear space above it, or there is clear space to either the left or right side.
        You can also slide adjacent gems into one another provided they have the same value and they will merge.
        Chained pairs
        If it is chained to another gem you will have to move them as a pair.
        The only way to break a chained pair is to match at least one end of it with another gem.
        You typically have to smash another gem into the chained pair rather than the other way around.
        Game over
        The playing field is 6 gems wide by 8 gems tall, for a maximum of 48 gems appearing on the board.
        Whenever any column reaches the top of the screen and then the screen moves once more to where that gem breaches the ceiling it is game over.
        Strategy
        Try to keep a couple columns open so you have more flexibility with moving other pieces across columns into positions at various height levels.
        Anytime there is a chained piece try to break the chain as soon as you possibly can. As chained pieces pile up they dramatically lower your mobility and play options.
        Three minor game bugs
        If you merge a pair of gems right as the new line of gems rises in some rare cases it may merge both of those gems into the third one underneath it and give that a value of one above the value of the bottom tone.
        Typically chained gems move as a pair. After playing for hours one time the chain pair stayed in place floating above the gems underneath them that I broke. Placing another gem underneath them and then moving it caused the stack to fall.
        If you are carrying a piece near the very top of the screen when the screen moves up a square it may cause your piece to bump the ceiling even if the other pieces are far below it.
