Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Do you remember the good times playing the classic game or do you wanna try this kind of games? So you have to give a try to this brand new version, check this adaptation and tell us what you think!!! Three game modes inside: - Arcade: destroy gems as fast as you can until the top is reached. - Time Trial: prove how much points are you able to get in 3, 5 or 10 minutes. - Pantheon Path: will you be able to liberate the pantheon temples? Walk through their walk solving the levels and reaching the temples, fight against the guardian and liberate the temple. - 100 levels of amazing challenges so far. - Use boosts to get more time, score or pieces in order to pass that hard level or to beat your friend's scores. - See where are your Facebook friends and beat them!! Other great features contained in the game: - HD graphics adapted to your phone or tablet. - "Color Blind" Mode. Just select this mode in the setup menu. - Totally brand new high-scores system (each game mode has its own high-scores table), just log in with your Facebook account and compete with people around the world. - New sound effects implemented. - Music compositions along the game, thanks to Allen Andrews, Robson Cozendey (www.cozendey.com) and BggProductions for their wonderful and amazing songs. How to play: Each of the pieces that appear are formed by three jewels which can be rotated by pressing the button on the right side. Our goal is to match three or more jewels of the same type both horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Move the piece (with the gamepad located in the bottom left corner) and place it in the correct position to match the types or locate the piece taking into account the next to appear (shown in the upper left corner). We want to make "Columns Challenge" a game even better, so any comment is welcome, either through rating here or on our website. Thank you!
