Help & Hints

ADVENTURE MODE

> · Clicking on a color scarab can be a quick way to fill up an urn of the same color.

> · If you see three groups of the same color start at the top and work your way down to quickly get a color scarab.

> · If you've collected color scarabs make sure to click on them and use them.

> · Always keep an eye out for triangles getting caught in nooks and crannies on the board.

> · Remember that bombs can be used to crack the stone triangles loose and open up the board.

> · Having too many cracked triangles rolling around can be a problem. Use bombs to blow them up!

> · Keep an eye on your urns and make sure you're filling them up with the right color.

> ARCADE & ADVENTURE MODE

> · On the gates with only a few rows it is possible for the board fill up without any groups of 3 or more, so plan ahead!

> · Bomb triangles will destroy other bomb triangles, so make sure you're using them wisely!

> · Having too many bombs on the board can make it hard to clear triangles.

> · Keep an eye out for pyramids made up of four triangles that can turn into bombs.

> · Sometimes it's worth waiting for a chameleon triangle to turn into a color that you need.

> · The eye of a chameleon triangle will close for an instant before it changes color.

> · You can't clear a Multi-Color Triangle by clicking directly on it. Instead it automatically becomes a part of whatever color group it's next to.

> · If you're close to finishing up a color urn go ahead and fill it. Otherwise you may be using triangles that you're going to need to fill the next one.

> · If you click a group near the top your triangles won't tumble around as much. That may let you grab a few groups in a row.

> · If you click a group of triangles near the bottom everything will tumble down.

> · Keep an eye on the timer. Otherwise you could be running out of time and not even know it!

> · Take a look at the urns you're going to need to fill when you start a level so you can plan out your strategy.

> · If the board is filling up too fast it's okay to go click crazy and try to remove as many groups as you can!

> · Make sure you remember to rotate the gate. You can use either the keyboard or the arrow buttons.

> · Remember that you have to click groups of 4 or more!

> SHAPE MATCH MODE

> · Rotating the board can make a shape easier to find.

> · Choosing an incorrect shape can change your target shape, but it may be harder to find.

> · Your cursor will show you what shape you're about to collect.

> · If a target shape has a chameleon in it, you'll need to wait for it to change to the right color before you can collect it.

> · Learn to recognize the smaller shapes first.
