Gems of seven different colors are placed within an 8×8 grid. The player must then select two adjacent gems to swap their positions, causing at least one of the formations to create at least three identical gems in a row. Invalid moves that do not create matches cause the gems to return to their original position. | Gems of seven different colors are placed within an 8×8 grid.

When you fill the bar at the bottom of the screen, you will receive a bonus; 10 random gems are removed. The game will become slightly more difficult, whether by providing more difficult gems, or by speeding up the timer. | When you fill the bar at the bottom of the screen, you will receive a bonus; 10 random gems are removed.
