Understand the core loop
1. One swap starts a chain
Match three to clear. Match four for line specials, form a T or L for a burst, or make five for a color clear.
2. Follow the recipe
Collect the displayed ingredient in order to charge your mixer. A charged mixer clears a selected row for free.
3. Make every move matter
Cascades, interacting specials, limited moves, stars and upgrades turn each board into a new recipe to solve.
Plan your next attempt
Check the required ingredient before making a swap. A four-piece line, a T or L, and a five-piece match create different specials, so consider what the next cascade might trigger. Save a charged mixer for a row that blocks the recipe.
When something goes wrong
Pause with Escape and check the help in your build. For a repeatable problem, note the build version, the stage or chapter, the input device and the steps that led to it. Send those details through support and feedback.
Windows playtesting is ongoing. Controller and other device support should be checked against the specific build; a listed binding does not establish hardware compatibility. See current development information.
