Match the orbs

Match the orbs

Your goal is to match three colored orbs in a row. Each orb can be moved the number of spaces shown on it while those without numbers cannot be moved. When you tap an orb, you will see indicators for where it can be moved to, which is quite helpful. Then either slide your finger to move the orb or tap an indicator to place it.

Special orbs and power-ups

As you continue to make matches, orbs will be removed and new ones will pop into the puzzle. You will come across special orbs such as the infinity orb which can be placed anywhere or the copy orb for duplicating another one. You can also use power-ups to add numbers to blank orbs, remove an orb, or remove a certain color.
