🖥️ The game screen shows a square grid (typically 8×8) filled with various festive symbols – gold coins, red envelopes, ingots, firecrackers, and lanterns. Each symbol comes in three different colours (red, gold, and green) and appears multiple times across the board. All cells are occupied at the start.
👆 You control by swiping your finger across adjacent cells (up, down, left, or right) to draw a continuous path. The path must start on any symbol, then move step by step to neighbouring cells, and each step must land on a symbol that is identical to the first one – same shape and same colour. You can continue the path as long as each new cell matches the starting symbol. The path cannot cross itself, cannot revisit a cell, and cannot pass through empty cells. You may end the path at any length, but it must contain at least three connected symbols.
✅ When you release your finger, all symbols along the drawn path disappear with a sparkle effect, and you earn points equal to the length of the path (longer paths give proportionally more points). After removal, symbols above the emptied cells fall straight down, and new random symbols are added from the top to refill the board. If the falling creates new adjacent groups of the same symbol, they do not auto‑clear – you must actively link them in your next swipe.
❌ If at any moment no symbol has at least three adjacent (horizontally or vertically) identical copies to form a path of length three, the board is considered deadlocked, and the game ends immediately – even if time remains.
⏱️ Each round has a fixed timer (starting at 60 seconds, decreasing in later rounds). You must reach a target score before time expires to advance to the next level. There are no power‑ups, no extra lives, no multipliers, and no hints. You can make as many swipes as you like within the time limit, but each swipe must have at least three matching symbols; shorter swipes waste time. The only strategy is to spot long chains quickly and prioritise them. Difficulty increases by adding more symbol types, reducing time, and raising score targets. No pauses, no shuffles – just quick eyes and faster fingers. Watch, swipe, and collect. 🎯
