How do I make and use power-ups?

A match of three removes pieces from the board. Match more pieces of the same color in one of these shapes to create a power-up instead:

Match	Power-up
4 in a straight line	Rocket
4 in a square	Fish
5 in a T, L, or U shape	Bomb
5 in a straight line	Plasma Ball

Power-ups don’t have a color. The color of the pieces you matched doesn’t change the Rocket, Fish, Bomb, or Plasma Ball you create.

Activate or combine them

• Rocket, Bomb, or Fish: tap it, or swap it with a neighboring piece.
• Plasma Ball: swap it with a neighboring piece to remove all pieces of that color.
• Two neighboring power-ups: swap them with each other to combine their effects.

Power-ups can damage obstacles and reach much larger areas than ordinary matches. Different obstacles have different rules, so use the power-up that suits the target.

Power-ups you make on the board are different from boosters, which come from your inventory and can be selected before or during a level.
