Gem Cascade
A match-3 puzzle played against the clock of your own moves, not a timer. Swap two neighboring gems on the 8×8 board to line up three or more of the same kind — matched gems clear, everything above drops down to fill the gap, and fresh gems fall in from the top. Every cascade that clearing sets off in a chain reaction scores a growing multiplier, so a single well-placed swap can be worth far more than the match that started it. You start with 25 moves; make each one count and see how high a score you can chain together.
How to Play Gem Cascade
Click or tap a gem, then click or tap a neighboring gem to swap them. Tap the same gem again to deselect it.
- A swap only counts if it creates a match — try one before committing if you're not sure, since an invalid swap costs nothing.
- Look for swaps that trigger a cascade: clearing one match can drop gems into a second match automatically, and each link in that chain scores a growing multiplier.
- Plan a move ahead rather than taking the first match you spot — a swap near the edge of the board often sets up a bigger combo than one in an open area.
