PIXELPOP PLAYER GUIDE

Gem Swap rules, scoring and strategy

Gem Swap is a move-limited match-three board. Swap neighboring gems to create a horizontal or vertical line of three or more. Valid matches clear, new gems fall into place, and accidental cascades can extend the value of a single move.

Rules and objective

Select one gem and then an adjacent gem to swap them.
A swap is accepted only when it creates a match.
Matched gems clear and the board refills.
The run ends when the move counter reaches zero.

How scoring works

Every cleared set adds points, and cascades can score again without spending another move. An invalid swap is reversed, preventing random exchanges from changing the board.

Strategy tips

Prefer moves low on the board because falling gems can create extra matches above.
Scan for four- and five-gem possibilities before taking an obvious match of three.
Use the move counter as a budget; a reliable cascade is more valuable than a decorative swap.

Controls and device support

Click or tap the first gem and then a neighboring gem. No dragging is required, which keeps the controls reliable on touch screens.
