=== WORLD & SYSTEM ===
A Pop Cyber Jungle
Step into a sparkling board full of cute animal tiles. It looks charming, but when your chain connects exactly as planned, the payoff is intense.
Stretch your chain and take over the board in one go.

Goal
Score as high as you can in 60 seconds.
Trace 3 or more matching tiles (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) to clear them.
Keep the action going to raise your combo multiplier and accelerate your score.

Special Pieces (auto-created from chain length)
Longer chains create stronger pieces on the last tile you touched.
- 4 tiles: HORIZONTAL clear
- 5 tiles: BOMB (area blast)
- 7+ tiles: RAINBOW (clear all of one color)
Clear effects spread through rows, columns, nearby tiles, and same-color tiles for explosive cascades.

Cascades & Combos
After a clear, tiles drop and refill automatically.
If new 3+ matches appear (vertical or horizontal), cascades trigger.
Link actions within 1.5 seconds to raise combo level and boost score multipliers.

Time Bonus (LIFE)
Clear heart tiles to gain +5 seconds each.
Use them well and push for an even longer run.

Shuffle
Your comeback option when the board gets stuck.
If 30 seconds or more remain, you can reshuffle the board at the cost of 30 seconds.

Sound & Visual Effects
Looping background music and sound effects keep the pace exciting.
Clears, cascades, and item pickups burst with sparkling particle effects for a satisfying feel.

=== HOW TO PLAY ===
- Trace across tiles to create a chain
- Lift your finger to clear (requires 3+ tiles)

Jump into an endless loop of cute chaos, fast combos, and explosive cascades.
