Stack gems of the same color to increase their value exponentially with each stack. Be careful not to place a mismatching colored gem, because it will break and give you negative points! You can freely rotate and mirror the pieces before placing.

This is an early beta build, there are still many features like settings, saving, trophies, statistics and sound and music to be implemented.
