These cubes should not be cleared, but should instead be allowed to fall off the stage. Forbidden cubes - Forbidden cubes are black.But at the same time, the player must make sure that no forbidden cube is included in the marked area (see below). Effective use of advantage cubes is the key to solving puzzles efficiently. If a spot is marked by a green square, it cannot be marked in the normal manner until the advantage cube's special feature is triggered. Multiple green cubes can be cleared normally, and puzzles usually incorporate advantage cube chains.

This square can be subsequently triggered to clear the surrounding 3x3 area in one move. Clearing one of these cubes marks its location with a green square.

Advantage cubes - Advantage cubes are green and should be cleared.

Normal cubes - Normal cubes are usually gray (the same color as the stage cubes you move around on), though this texture can change to some other color depending on the stage reached or on the game's settings.

The cubes that approach are of three types: If the player ever falls off the stage- either by standing on the final row of the stage as it is eliminated, or by being 'avalanched' off by rising blocks- the game is over. When all the blocks in one set are destroyed, more blocks are raised-this happens 3 times, for a total of 4 block risings per level. On the last stage, 14 rows of length 7 (98 blocks) come at the user at one time. On the first stage, 3 rows of length 4 (12 blocks) come at the user at one time. Anywhere between 1 and 4 sets of rows comes at the user at one time. ) Then 12-16 rows of the stage are raised. (Though the game has a two-player mode, the two players simply take turns.
