Columns — About this game
Each falling column contains three pieces whose order you can cycle before they land. Match three or more of one color horizontally, vertically or diagonally to clear them and let other pieces fall into new matches. Original mode rewards survival and clears; Flash asks you to remove a flashing piece. Magic columns erase the color they land upon.
