Controls

Click or tap two adjacent fruits to swap them.

How to Play

  1. Look at where the dirty cells are — those, not the fruit, are what the level is asking for.
  2. Swap two neighbouring fruits to make a column or row of three or more of the same type.
  3. Leave locked fruit alone; plan the clears around it rather than into it.
  4. Match shaped fruit to earn the bomb, crump, flash and time symbols, and set them off over dirt rather than over clean board.

Tips & Tricks

When the clock gets short, stop clearing dirt directly and go hunting for the time symbol. A few seconds bought early is worth more than two cells cleaned late, and the levels are built on the assumption that you will find it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What finishes a level?

Breaking all the dirty cells before the time runs out.

Why will some fruit not move?

Locked fruit cannot be swapped. You have to clear around it rather than through it.

What are the special symbols?

Matching fruit of a specific shape produces symbols such as a bomb, a crump, a flash and a time symbol, each clearing the board differently.
