Shift Cross

About this game

Shift Cross is a bright, brain teasing gem puzzle built around one simple twist. Instead of swapping two pieces, you slide an entire row or an entire column, and the line wraps around the board. Every move rearranges the whole grid, so the perfect solution is always one clever slide away.

Line up three or more gems of the same color, across or down, to clear them and score. The real magic happens where a horizontal clear meets a vertical clear. They cross, and forge a powerful Cross Gem that sweeps a full row and column in one flash. Match four in a line to build a Line Blast, and match five to create a Color Bomb that removes every gem of a single color from the board.

Chain reactions cascade into satisfying combos, and clever setups can clear half the board in a single slide. Each shift costs one move, so plan your lines, reach the target score, and clear level after level as the goals climb higher.

Stuck for options Spend the coins you earn on a rich set of power tools. The Hammer removes any single gem, the Bomb blows a three by three area, Shuffle rebuilds the board, and Plus Moves grants extra slides when the clock is against you.
