Match Three 6 Colors 8x8

Goal

Earn enough points within 30 moves.

How to play

Tiles of a number of different colors are dealt to the board. Tiles may be swapped with adjacent tiles, if they would create a line of three or more tiles of the same color in a row. The resulting lines of three or more are removed, and all tiles directly above them will fall to fill in the gap. New tiles are dropped in to fill the gaps. The tiles will cascade, and any new lines of three are removed, until there aren't any left.

Removing a line of 3 is worth 100 points, plus 20 points for each additional piece in the sequence. If the tiles cascade, the score is multiplied by 1.5 after the first cascade, 2 after the second, and 2.5 for any cascades after.

Your objective is to earn a certain score within 30 moves. The goal score depends on the size and number of colors, and will be shown in the play area.
