Color Blast

Controls Goal: tap groups of 2 or more same-colored blocks that touch (up, down, left, right) to pop them, and build the highest score you can before no groups are left. Higher is better. Scoring: a group of n blocks scores n×(n−1) — 2 blocks give 2, 5 give 20, 10 give 90 — so big groups are far better (popping all 80 at once gives 6320). Blocks above fall into the gap, and when a whole column empties the columns to its right slide left. Controls: with a mouse, hover a block to preview the group that will pop and the points you will get, then click. On touch, tap a block and it pops at once (no preview). On a keyboard move between blocks with the arrow keys (Tab stops once) and pop with Enter or Space. Tips: don't rush to pop small groups — gather colors together first and pop one big group; avoid stranding a color; clearing the whole board is a success. Each block has a symbol (● ▲ ■ ◆ ★) as well as a color. No time limit and no pause.
