ORE MATCH

Drag an icon one space up, down, left or right. Match three or more identical icons in a row or column. You can also tap two adjacent icons to swap them.

All icons in a horizontal or vertical match of three or more disappear. Icons fall into the empty spaces, and new ones enter from above. New matches trigger cascades.

The 90-second timer starts on your first swap. Match clocks to restore 10 seconds, up to 120 seconds. A bomb match clears one row and one column through the center of the matched group. For an even-sized match, the upper or left center icon is used. Clocks cleared by explosions do not restore time. Match four bullets in a straight line to shoot four random icons, or five or more to shoot five. Three bullets make a normal match. Shot bombs and clocks do not activate extra effects. Match three or more question-mark boxes to open one reward per connected matched group: +10 seconds (120-second cap), a centered cross blast, four random shots, or +100 game points. Each reward has an equal chance. Boxes removed by another effect do not open. Toggle sound at the top. Steel clicks mark swaps, crystals ring on matches, rocks crumble on bomb blasts, shots fire on bullet hits, and a time-machine sweep accompanies Time Defense. No background audio. The timer stops during pauses and effect animations. Reach the target within 25 moves and the time limit to unlock the next level. Your highest unlocked level and best score are saved in this browser. Clearing site data deletes these records. These records are separate from a permanent MAR-POINT account.

27 mineral, item and spacecraft images from the supplied reference. Each board uses six types. Clocks appear in every level; the other five types rotate between levels. A 3-combo creates one black bomb that detonates after 3 seconds and clears up to 9 tiles. Matching coin icons awards game score, not actual MAR-POINT. Image detail is limited by the photographed source.
