Gameplay
Before the first level you must play a short hidden-object level. This doesn't contribute to your score.
In the main game, the objective is to clear a path between the flowing energy and the talisman. The energy is represented by tiles with green background. You must drag the mouse over chains of same-colored pieces to clear them. Doing so will also clear the ground below the piece, allowing the energy to flow through it. If you make a chain of 5 or more pieces, a small explosion will occur where you released the mouse button. If you chain 9 pieces you get a big explosion. The energy will start flowing as soon as you clear the ground on a tile next to it. Most levels don't fit into a single screen. In this case, the screen will scroll based on how far the energy has flowed. The level is over as soon as energy flows into one of the tiles of the talisman at the end of the level.
On level 5 you get a spade powerup. This will clear 1 level of ground on a tile but will not affect the gem on the tile. You collect power for the spade powerup by matching green pieces.
On level 9 you get a bomb powerup. This will clear the pieces within a certain radius but will not affect the ground on these tiles. You collect power for the bomb powerup by matching red pieces.
Frozen pieces can be matched but will not move until cleared. They can be cleared by matching or explosion (both from the bomb or a long chain).
Magic arrows will activate when the energy flows into their tiles. Each arrow has a pre-set range and direction of travel. The magic arrow will clear both pieces and ground in its way.
Rocks can't be matched, but can be removed by explosion from a long chain, bomb or magic arrow.
Metal slabs can't be removed except by magic arrow.
