How to Play
Move items between shelves and place three identical items together. A completed match clears those items and opens more space for your next move.
Some items begin hidden in shadowed spaces and are revealed as you clear matches. Plan ahead: if the shelves become blocked and there is no room left to shift an item, the run ends.
If the layout stops giving you a useful move, use Shuffle to rearrange the available items. The game also uses a timer, so you need to balance careful sorting with speed.
Controls
- Desktop: Use the mouse or touchpad to move items between shelves.
- Mobile: Touch and drag items on the screen.
