Tap Blast

Tap groups of two or more matching colours to pop them. Tiles fall and columns slide together. Bigger groups score far more.

How to play

  1. Tap any tile that touches at least one tile of the same colour above, below, left or right. The whole connected group pops.
  2. Tiles above the gap fall down, and empty columns slide together from the right.
  3. A group of N tiles scores (N minus 1) squared, so a group of 6 is worth 25 and a group of 10 is worth 81.
  4. The round ends when no matching neighbours are left. Clearing the entire board adds a 200 point bonus.

Tips and strategy

  • Do not pop every small pair. Let a colour build into one big group first.
  • Work from the top so the lower tiles stay put and you can see the groups forming.
  • Watch for single tiles stuck in a column. Once isolated they can never be popped.
  • Each tile also carries a shape, so colours are easy to tell apart.

FAQ

Does a diagonal touch count?
No. Only tiles that share an edge belong to the same group.
Why do big groups score so much?
The score is the group size minus one, squared, so doubling a group roughly quadruples its points.
Can I get a perfect board?
Sometimes. Clearing every tile adds a 200 point bonus, though luck of the draw decides whether it is possible.
