Play to set a score, then submit it to the board.
How to play
- Every tile shows a number (1–4) and an arrow direction.
- Tap a tile to fire a bolt: it hops that many cells along its arrow.
- Where it lands, the tile clears, scores, and the bolt then obeys that new tile’s number and arrow.
- The chain continues until the bolt lands on an empty cell or flies off the board. Longer trails score much more.
Strategy & tips
- Read the board like a route — trace where a tile’s arrow and number would send the bolt next.
- Scoring is convex: one long chain is worth far more than several short ones, so hunt the big ignition.
- Watch for tiles whose arrows loop back into a dense area to keep the chain alive longer.
- Corners and edges often cut chains short — start bolts that travel inward.
- After gravity refills the board, new trails appear; rescan before every tap.
FAQ
How does the bolt move?
It jumps a tile’s number of cells in that tile’s arrow direction, then repeats from wherever it lands, chaining across the board.
Can it loop forever?
No. Each landed tile clears, so any revisit or an off-board hop ends the chain — it always terminates.
