How to play
Your goal is to clear the screen of falling colored gems by aligning three or more of the same color in a row, column, or diagonal. You control a cursor to swap adjacent columns of gems, and matches disappear, causing gems above to fall. The game is structured in episodes where you interact with characters from the Imperial Combat Revue between puzzle stages. Building relationships through dialogue choices can unlock special abilities or support during the puzzle segments. In the early game, focus on creating chain reactions by setting up matches that cause cascading falls. As the difficulty increases, prioritize clearing gems from the bottom to prevent the stack from reaching the top. During tense moments, use character-specific power-ups earned from relationship levels to clear large sections of the board or slow down the gem drop speed.
