The basic gameplay mechanics are quite familiar, requiring you to swap gems to create matches of three or more. But instead of going for a high score, you’re going to try to defeat your enemies by matching gems to fire your weapons, build up your defenses, and unleash special attacks. Just be aware that you share the board with your opponent. This adds another layer of strategy since you’ll want to avoid creating easy matches for them. The cards you earn can be used to upgrade your crew and your starships.

Unlike similar finance apps, 5coins doesn’t try to do it all. Instead, it focuses on just what you spend on a daily basis. No jumping through multiple screens to perform a single task.

The game includes two distinct modes, and loads of challenges to take on.
