How to play

The goal is to score as many points as possible by merging tiles with the same numbers on the hexagonal board!

How to play:
• Hold a tile – all neighboring tiles with the same number will light up!
• Tap the tile to merge them into one with a higher value!
• The more tiles you merge, the higher the multiplier! 3 tiles = ×1.5, 4 tiles = ×2, 5+ tiles = ×2.5!

Swaps:
• Drag tiles to neighboring cells to swap their positions
• The number of swaps is limited but replenishes with each merge!

Boosters:
• Boosters are located at the bottom of the screen (32, 64, 128, 256)
• Select a booster and tap any tile – it will instantly transform into the desired number!

Play from any device – the controls work equally well on both computer and phone!
