The world has plunged into Eternal Darkness, and the Ancient Shadows have awakened, devouring everything in their path. According to the legends of the Elders, only the Elixir of Light can dispel the gloom and banish the evil back into the void. You must embark on a dangerous journey through the Cursed Lands and overcome 25 trials to collect the rarest ingredients for creating the saving potion. The fate of the world depends on you!
Game Goal and Rules
Your task on each level is to collect a certain number of ingredients. The current objectives are always displayed on the left side of the screen.
How to Play:
Collect combinations: Swap adjacent tiles to line up 3 or more elements of the same type in a row or column. If you don't see a move, after 15 seconds the game will automatically suggest where to move a tile. Keep an eye on the objective: Simply exploding tiles isn't enough. If the level requires a specific number of red and blue elements, focus on those in particular.
Levels have a unique structure: pyramids, spirals, rings, and other shapes await you. Each stage features a special arrangement of blocks, creating a distinctive field pattern and new obstacles. Empty spaces and walls change the trajectory of falling tiles, so you need to take this into account when planning your moves.
Boosters (Helpers)
If you get stuck or are running out of moves, use the artifacts from the panel on the right. Select a booster and then apply it to the field:
Hammer: Pinpoint strike. Destroys any one selected tile. However, it is actually unpredictable - with an extremely rare chance it can instantly clear the entire level and take you to the next one.
Sword: Cuts through space. Destroys the entire horizontal row. Two Swords: Cross strike. Destroys both the entire row and the entire column that intersect at the chosen point.
Bomb: Medium-power explosion. Destroys all tiles in a 3×3 radius around the target.
Lightning: Color magic. Select any tile, and the lightning will destroy absolutely all tiles of that type on the entire field.
Hurricane: Chaos for good. Instantly shuffles all tiles on the game field (activates immediately when clicked).
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 buy any missing booster right in the middle of a level using these points. Don't be afraid to spend what you've earned if it helps you pass a tough stage!
Features and Tips
Combo strikes: Collecting 4 tiles in a row triggers a magic beam that destroys the entire line. Collecting 5 tiles destroys all elements both vertically and horizontally (in a cross).
Collection: After completing each level, you receive a unique story item. You can view your trophies and read their lore in the Collection menu.
Difficulty: The game starts with simple levels, but the number of magical items gradually increases and the field shapes become more complex.
