A numbered tile waits above five columns. Tap a column and the tile falls to the lowest free cell.
2
Fuse
A tile that lands next to the same number fuses with it and doubles. Touch two or three twins at once and it doubles for each.
3
Chain
After a merge the tiles above fall into the gap and can fuse again. Each extra merge in one drop scores more.

Pick a mode
Classic has no clock, and a full board can grow by two rows, three times a run. In Challenge a new row rises every few drops; a run lasts about five minutes.
About the Supporter pack
The whole game is free. The Glimmer Drop Supporter pack is an optional one-time purchase of US$4.99 that adds the extras listed above and helps fund the next game. If you already own a pack for another TinyArcadia game, it is US$2.49. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
Delivery: the extras unlock in this browser a few seconds after the payment is confirmed. There is nothing to download and no account to create. You also get an unlock code: enter it on another device or browser to unlock the pack there too.
Payment: checkout runs on Waffo, our merchant of record (Waffo.com Limited), which sells the pack to you. Waffo processes your card and sends the receipt; the charge on your statement carries a name that starts with WAFFO. We never see your card details.
Yes. The whole game is free in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download and no account.
When does a run end?
In Classic, the board is out of room when all five columns are full and the next tile does not match any top tile. You can then add two empty rows on top and keep going, up to three times a run. In Challenge, the run ends if a column is full when the next row rises.
Can I undo a move?
Yes. Undo takes back your last drop, with every merge it set off and the points it scored. Each run has three undos, in both modes.
Is my game saved?
Yes. The run you are playing is saved in this browser after every drop, one run for each mode, and the game offers to continue it next time. Best scores and sound settings are saved too. Clearing your browser data resets them.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Keys 1 to 5 drop into that column, or aim with the left and right arrows and drop with Space, Enter or the down arrow. M mutes the sound.
What does the Supporter pack add?
Unlimited undo in Classic. Take back as many drops as you like (free play: 3 per run). Three tile sets. Gem, Neon and Pastel, each with its own colour for every tile from 2 to 16384. Two board backgrounds. Velvet or Linen stays behind the board for the whole run, instead of the scene changing as you climb. Your run history. The score of your last 50 runs as a curve, with your best marked (free play: the last three as numbers). HD score card. Save every finished run as a 1080 × 1080 image, ready to share. It costs US$4.99 once (US$2.49 if you already own a pack for another game), unlocks instantly in your browser, and your unlock code brings it to your other devices.
How do I get the Supporter pack on another device?
After paying you get an unlock code. Open this page on the other device, press “Already bought it?” and enter the code. You can also use the email and order number from your Waffo receipt.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Within 14 days of buying, email support@tinyarcadia.com and we will refund you, no questions asked. The pack is then removed from every device.
