When I downloaded it on the first day, I thought it was just a matter of clicking on the gems, but I found that it wasn't that simple at all! At first, I clicked randomly. I clicked wherever I saw gems with the same color, regardless of their position. As a result, I almost eliminated the entire row. Later I learned that it turns out that you have to gather three of the same ones together to eliminate them, and it is best to check in advance what color the falling gems will be, otherwise you will easily get stuck.
The worst thing was that I thought the props were used casually, but ended up throwing away all the bomb props as soon as I started, thinking that blowing up one piece would definitely lead to a higher score. As it turned out, the level task was to eliminate gems of a specific color, and I blew up all the other colors. In the end, I couldn't pass the level with just one gem, which pissed me off😤 Later I learned that props must be used accurately, especially the horizontal elimination and vertical elimination with arrows, and they must be placed according to the position of the gems, otherwise it is really a waste.
Also, I didn't know what the magic elimination was for at first. The first time I used it, I thought it was a full-screen explosion, but in the end, a small area in the middle was eliminated, which felt very bad. Later, someone who read the forum said that magic elimination can be combined with bombs to trigger chain effects, but I tried several times without success. Maybe my hands are too stupid😂
In addition, the level difficulty rises really quickly. The first few levels felt easy, but after more than ten levels, I suddenly got stuck. At first I thought it was because I was unlucky, but later I realized that I had to use my brain to think of one step or two, not just rely on my quick hands. Now every time before playing, I have to stare at it for a while and study how to move to connect more gems. I feel like I have become a little smarter, haha.
By the way, the running platform of this game is 5.0, which my mobile phone supports. When I downloaded it, I saw that it was free, which made me quite happy. The developer is Shenzhen Lieyou Technology Co., Ltd. Although I don't understand this very well, it plays quite smoothly, there are no crashes and lags, and it is also friendly to newcomers.
In short, as a newbie, my biggest feeling is: don't use props randomly like me, read the prompts in the game first, and observe a few more steps before starting. I'm still stuck at level 23. Is there anyone who can pass by and give me some tips? Thank you so much! 🙏 I hope we can play together in the future, and when I become more powerful, I can also bring other newbies!
