How to Play

Beginner’s Guide:

• Step 1: Launch the game and select a difficulty level. Start with Easy mode to learn the core matching mechanics and vehicle controls.
• Step 2: Tap and hold blocks to match colors. Watch for falling blocks that complete your grid to trigger vehicle movement. Guide your vehicle through obstacles and ramps while avoiding pitfalls.
• Step 3: Complete each level’s objectives within time limits. Upgrade your vehicle using collected coins and explore all paths to discover hidden collectibles.

Pro Tips:

• Master the jump timing: Wait to build up momentum before jumping over multi-level gaps. Timing is crucial to avoid flipping your vehicle and losing progress.
• Use the color wheel strategically: Always aim to create blocks on the wheel’s perimeter first for maximum chain reactions and combo potential.
• Look for hidden paths: Some levels contain shortcuts revealed by matching specific pattern sequences. These bypass dangerous obstacles and save valuable time.
