Match glowing gems across twelve floating islands
A match-3 adventure with no ads. Free to start, and it plays offline.
Gems that catch the light
Every gem is cut like real glass, throws colored shadows and sparkles as your combos ripple across the tray. Each island has its own: fire opals in Ember Deep, folded glass in Paperfold Peaks, iced treats in Frosting Falls.
