Playing the Game
Play by using your stylus to slide the stacked blocks one at a time up and down or right and left. Match three or more of the same block vertically or horizontally to launch the blocks upward. If the blocks get launched all the way to the top of the screen, they turn into magical abilities that can help your Disney friends.
The more blocks you try to launch, the heavier they get, and it gets harder to launch them off the screen. Once blocks have been launched into the air, try lining up even more blocks to make them all shoot up higher. If you line up rows of matching blocks while other blocks are already in flight, the whole stack launches even farther!
SPECIAL GAUGE
You can use your special ability to help clear the screen even faster. Wait until the Special Gauge is full, and then click the gauge to launch your special ability!
Special Blocks
Wild Blocks
Wild Blocks can be used as a substitute for any other block, like the Joker in a deck of cards. Move a Wild Block next to two blocks that are the same and all three blocks will launch into the air!
Rocket Blocks
Double click a Rocket Block and you’ll launch three blocks in a row – the Rocket Block and the blocks on either side of it, no matter if they’re the same or not.
Replacing Blocks
Double click a Replacing Block to change all the blocks of a single color into a different color! If you use Replacing Blocks right, you can launch lots of blocks with ease!

Special abilities
To use Special Abilities, wait for your Special Gauge to get filled up. The gauge fills as you play through the game. When it’s full, touch the gauge to use one of three Special Abilities. Each stage uses a different special ability, so be sure to know which one you’re activating when you touch the Special Gauge. In Story Mode, you cannot choose which ability to use. In other modes, you will be given the option to choose which one to use.
Nitro Boost
Touch the Special Gauge to activate Nitro Boost and your blocks will launch with much more force. Watch out for the ‘B’ to appear on the Special Gauge.
Slow Mode
When you activate Slow Mode, the blocks move a lot slower so you can match more of them. Watch out for the ‘S’ to appear on the Special Gauge.
Horizontal Block Movement
On the levels where you can’t move the blocks horizontally (in Expert difficulty), activate this Special Ability to move the blocks side to side. Watch out for the ‘H’ to appear on the Special Gauge.
