About the Game

The mechanism of the game is inspired by the concepts of five elements from ancient Chinese philosophy. If you have known the relations of generating and restraining between elements, you may be familiar with the game soon.

In the game, one to five colorful tiles randomly drop, while each tile means an element. The basic play method is to fill a row for eliminating the row of tiles.

The feature of the game is that, when a single tile is dropping, it can release up to five single tiles. For example, a green tile means wood, and it releases red tiles, which means wood generate fire. As fire restrains metal, a red tile can remove a white tile. For detailed information, please read "Help" in the game.

It is the first game that we develop, so there are a lot of things that should be improved. Future updates may adjust mechanism or add features. If you have any advice or suggestion, feel free to tell us.
