A nice puzzle game with a manga flavour and not too complicated. The levels are grouped together in series, organized in the form of a tree so as not to repeat the same stages every time you restart a game.

On the left side of the screen you see colored gemstones. There are five colors ordered as follows: red > green > blue > pink > yellow. If you click on a gem, its color is "downgraded" by two levels (eg: red becomes blue), while the four adjacent gems descend one level (eg: red becomes green). After the yellow color, there is nothing, the gems disappear and all those that were stacked above them fall. The goal is to get the same layout as seen on the right side of the screen.

A game well presented but which is far from revolutionizing the genre.
