About this game

Match cards with the same rank and suit using a line with no more than two turns. The path crosses empty cells and can travel around the outside of the board. Cards stay in place on level one. Later levels shift cards up, down and sideways, move groups together or apart, and follow snake and spiral paths. Each layout calls for a different approach. Standard has 144 tiles on a 16×9 board and 10 minutes per level. Hard has 208 tiles on a 16×13 board and 16 minutes. Each run starts with 10 shuffles and either 10 hints in Standard or 15 in Hard. These resources carry over between levels. Every completed level grants one free hint and one free shuffle. Choose from seven card skins, beat your records and resume a saved level.

How to play

Complete 40 levels across two modes by clearing each board before time runs out. Tap a card, then tap an identical one. If a path of no more than two turns connects them through empty cells, a line appears and both cards disappear. If there is no path, the cards shake — pick another pair. The line can leave the board and travel around the outside, so cards in the outer rows and columns connect more often than they appear to. The hint button highlights a ready pair, and shuffle rearranges the cards. Both pools carry over through the 20-level run. Each completed level adds one free hint and one free shuffle. From level two onward the cards move after every pair, and the arrow next to the level number shows the direction. The faster you clear the board, the more the remaining time is worth. Finish all twenty Standard levels to unlock Hard mode.
