Instructions

• Adjacent blocks of the same color will fuse together, making them easier to clear, but potentially cluttering the board. Clear them quickly to keep a good mix of colors present all over the board.
• Clearing large clusters fills your meter; click it or press the space bar to settle the board and fill up those nasty gaps. It also stops blocks from falling for a short time. It automatically activates if you're about to lose.
• The longer you play, the higher your multiplier gets, and the more points you earn for everything.
• More pieces will start to fall when the board is less than half full, and the most will fall when the board is empty. Use this to score lots of points early on.
• Multiple matches in quick succession will net you combo points. The longer your streak, the higher the bonus gets!

The high score is 638,355, by me.
