How to play
Move, match, and make room. Keep your grid from overflowing and outlast your opponents.
Match & combos
Line up three or more identical blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. They clear, and the blocks above fall.
Powerups
Match a marked block to collect its powerup. Use the oldest power in your inventory with the controls below.
Defensive
Rotating blocks give you powers that help your own grid.
Bottom Sweep · B
Clears your bottom row and lets the blocks above fall into place.
Block Purge · U
Removes every block of one randomly chosen type from your grid.
Midas Drop · orange R
Makes your next piece golden. When it lands, surrounding blocks turn into orange R blocks.
Combo Builder · N
Copies one of your blocks into a matching 2 × 2 square to help build a match.
Medusa Cure · E
Turns up to two Medusa blocks on your grid back into regular blocks.
Power Forge · blue R
Upgrades up to two regular blocks into offensive or defensive powerup blocks. Match them to collect.
Offensive
Blocks with electrical arcs give you powers that disrupt an opponent.
Bottom Flood · B
Adds a row at the bottom of your opponent's grid, pushing their stack upward.
Unstable Shuffle · U
Rearranges three occupied blocks on the opponent's grid.
Medusa Strike · orange R
Turns one enemy block and its occupied side neighbors into Medusa blocks.
Medusa Drop · N
Forces the opponent's next piece to be a three-block Medusa column.
Power Drain · E
Removes the oldest powerup from the opponent's inventory.
Junk Seed · blue R
Adds up to two extra blocks of the same type in open spaces on the opponent's grid.
Two R blocks, two types. Blue R and orange R do not match each other.
Watch for Medusa. Medusa blocks cannot form regular matches. Medusa Cure can turn them back into playable letters.
