How to play
Slide a bead
Tap a bead, then tap an empty square. The bead slides there, but only through empty squares: it cannot jump over other beads.
Line up five
Make a row of five or more beads of the same colour, across, down or diagonally. They disappear and you score, and no new beads appear that turn.
Keep the board clear
If nothing was cleared, three new beads appear. The next three are always shown. The game ends when the board is full, so see how high you can score.
