Game modes

The story mode is telling the tale of Hocus and Pocus. When completing a level all stones are cleared from the field and all specials are reset. The arcade mode is telling no story. Stones remain in the field and specials remain active when completing a level. Each game mode has its own highscore and savegame.

Combinations

There are two types of combinations. Simple combinations are solved if three or more stones of the same colour and form are arranged horizontally. All stones of the same type that are connected to this combination horizontally or vertically are solved, too. The objective combination consists of 3 to 5 horizontally or vertically arranged stones. A small scroll shows how this combination has to be arranged. The objective combination has to be built in order to complete a level. The objective combination is hidden at the start of each level. Each simple combination reveals one stone of the objective combination. Once all stones of the objective combination are revealed the level can be finished. You get points for each combination. Chain reactions are awarded with double the points. The test tube in the upper right corner of the screen indicates the current bonus value. The higher this value the more points you get for solving combinations. Dropping a stone into the field will reduce the bonus value. Once the bonus value is empty, the next combination will yield no points. After solving a combination the bonus value is reset. Furthermore there are positive and negative special stones. If a positive special is active, it can be replaced by a negative one. If a negative special is active, it cannot be replaced.
