Gem Cascade

Gem Cascade is not the usual match-3 where the board just clears. Cascades matter: vanish a line, gems fall, new ones drop in, and they line up again — every cascade round multiplies the score.

How to play

1. Swap two adjacent gems (click a gem, click its neighbor — same on phones). A move only counts if a line forms.

2. Three in a row — plain points. Four — a beam gem that burns a whole row or column. Five — a bomb that clears all gems of its color.

3. If lines cross (an L or T), an area charge spawns: a 3x3 blast.

4. Cascades: the fall and refill keep making lines automatically. The longer the chain, the bigger the multiplier — that is where score grows.

5. A level is complete when the target is reached within the move budget. Moves do not carry over — plan calmly, but do not hoard them.

6. If moves run out before the target, the level restarts. Five levels, rising targets.

Tips

• Hunt moves that cascade: special gems mid-board chain more often.
• Place a beam gem next to a dense zone: the row clears along with whatever collapses into it.
• Save a bomb for the most common color — one swap eats a dozen gems.
• Do not spend the last moves on lone triples: rebuild the board instead.
