Combos
Create combinations of four or more gems to earn special pieces. If you get four gems in a row, it creates a bomb that will destroy a 3×3 area of gems. Create an "L", "T" or "plus" shape using five gems to make a piece that will destroy one row and/or column. Get five gems in a row to create a piece, that when matched with a color, will remove every piece of that same color within about ten tiles of either side.
Restore lives
You have a limited number lives that are used if a level fails. Your lives are normally restored over time. You can regain all your lives instantly by advancing the time on your device by 100 minutes. Afterwards, set the time back to its correct value.
