Your screen is populated with blocks of two different colors. You must tap on blocks to flip them and match groups of two-by-two or larger. The catch is that by tapping and flipping one block, all surrounding blocks will also flip. Power-ups will enter the scene at random as well, and although their color can't be changed, they can change the color of those surrounding them when tapped. You're able to utilize power-ups by matching their color. The game includes five different modes, and leaderboards via Game Center.
