How do Rockets work?

Match four pieces of the same color in a straight line to make a Rocket.

Direction and activation

The Rocket’s appearance shows which way it will fire. When your swap creates a Rocket, the direction of that swap determines its direction:

• Swap left or right to create a horizontal Rocket.
• Swap up or down to create a vertical Rocket.

Tap the Rocket or swap it with a neighboring piece to launch it. A horizontal Rocket hits cells to its left and right; a vertical Rocket hits cells above and below it.

Wooden Boxes stop the blast. Paper Boxes, Ice, and Ropes don’t stop it.

Combine a Rocket with another power-up

Swap the two power-ups when they’re next to each other:

• Rocket + Rocket: blasts one row and one column.
• Rocket + Bomb: blasts three rows and three columns.
• Rocket + Fish: sends the Rocket to the Fish’s target, where it activates.
• Rocket + Plasma Ball: turns every piece of one color into a Rocket, then activates all of them.
