How to play

Columns of three colors are going down. You can move and rotate them to align three in a row(horizontal, vertical or diagonal), so they will be removed and blocks over them will fall. If falling blocks complete more rows, that you make a flow. This makes some frozen blocks will fall over the opponent. A frozen block will be removed only when adjacent block is removed. A player loses when there is not room for more block to fall.

During the game you will find blocks that have an image over it. When you complete these blocks its sealed power will be released and you will receive magic points. According to the magic points you receive you can make some magic spells.
