You'll receive a cute Sanrio character after you play through the tutorial. Each character has their own unique ability, so try out as many as you can. They come in handy! For example, Hula Girl My Melody has the ability to remove a specific block from the board. The higher grade a character, the better their ability will be. Grades go as low as C-rank all the way up to S-rank. To get new characters, you'll need to pay up to use the Friend Gacha. The 30 gem gacha has a chance to give you B through S-rank characters, while the 1,500 coin one gives you C through A-rank characters. We recommend saving your gems for the gem gacha! Each level has up to three stars you can earn by scoring high enough. At the end of a section, if you have enough stars, you can play the bonus level! We're actually not quite sure what these bonus levels are for as they seem to be relatively normal levels, but you can still earn stars on them as well. Earning enough stars will also unlock furniture in the shop for coin purchase. Normally you can only buy furniture with gems, but if you earn enough stars you can purchase them with regular coins. If you care about the bonus levels or furniture, be sure to earn as many stars as you can. Just keep in mind - furniture doesn't seem to provide any bonuses of the sort. It's all cosmetic! Always go for the biggest groups of blocks, and always work towards your objective! After you complete the level's objective, any remaining moves you have are turned into firecrackers on the board. You can get a lot of points this way, so be sure to conserve your moves.
