The world has been plunged into Eternal Darkness, and the Ancient Shadows have awakened, consuming everything in their path. According to Elder legends, only the Elixir of Light can dispel the darkness and banish evil back into the void. You must embark on a perilous journey through the Cursed Lands and overcome 25 trials to collect the rarest ingredients to create a life-saving potion. The fate of the world depends on you!
Game Objective and Rules
Your goal in each level is to collect a certain number of ingredients. Current objectives are always displayed on the left side of the screen.
How to Play:
Create combinations: Swap adjacent tiles to line up 3 or more of the same type in a row or column. If you can't see a move, the game will prompt you after 15 seconds.
Keep an eye on the task: Simply exploding tiles is not enough. If a level requires a certain number of red and blue tiles, focus on them.
The levels have a unique structure: pyramids, spirals, rings, and other shapes await you. Each stage features a unique block layout, creating a unique board pattern and new obstacles. Empty spaces and walls change the trajectory of falling tiles, which must be taken into account when planning your moves.
Boosters (Helpers)
If you get stuck or run out of moves, use artifacts from the panel on the right. Select a booster, then apply it to the board:
Hammer: A pinpoint strike. Destroys any single selected tile. However, it is actually unpredictable—with an extremely rare chance, it can destroy the entire level and move you to the next one.
Sword: Slices space. Destroys an entire horizontal row.
Two Swords: Cross Strike. Destroys both an entire row and an entire column intersecting at a selected point.
Bomb: A medium-power explosion. Destroys all tiles within a 3x3 radius of the target.
Lightning: The magic of color. Select any tile, and lightning will destroy absolutely all tiles of that type on the board.
Hurricane: Chaos for Good. Completely shuffles all tiles on the playing field (activates immediately when pressed).
Booster Shop
Your points are valuable currency. The game features a Shop where you can replenish your supplies.
The more tiles you destroy and the longer your combinations, the more points you earn.
You can use these points to purchase any missing booster right during the game. Don't be afraid to spend your earnings if it helps you pass a difficult level!
Features and Tips
Combo Attacks: Matching 4 tiles in a row triggers a magic beam that destroys the line. Matching 5 tiles destroys all elements vertically and horizontally (in a cross).
Collection: After each completed level, you receive a unique story item. You can examine your trophies and read their story in the Collection menu. Difficulty: The game starts with easy levels, but gradually the number of magic items increases, and the board shapes become more complex.
