Pieces descend into a rectangular playfield from a top-down, screen-based puzzle perspective. The player moves and positions each falling piece, attempting to form matching arrangements and clear space before the stack reaches the top.

A run consists of successive pieces and escalating pressure. The central progression is score-based: efficient clears preserve room, while mistakes make later pieces harder to place. The game focuses on single-player arcade-puzzle play; additional modes are not documented here.

Keep the playfield as low and even as possible instead of building tall isolated columns. Plan each placement around the next available clearing opportunity, and avoid sealing off useful spaces with awkward colors or shapes.

When the board becomes crowded, prioritize a safe clear over a higher-value arrangement. Work from the bottom upward and leave flexible gaps that can accept several possible pieces.
