Farm Blast

Farm Blast clears coloured cubes by tapping rather than swapping. Two or more matching cubes side by side disappear when you tap them, and the larger the group, the more you get out of it.

Because moves are limited, small clears are the mistake. A group of two removes two cubes and one move; a group of eight clears the cubes, produces a booster and reshuffles half the board on the way down. The whole game is about waiting for the second kind.

Cascades are the other half. Cubes fall into the gaps you made, and if one lands next to its own colour it clears again without costing anything. Reading which clear will drop the board into itself is what separates a level finished with moves to spare from one that runs out.

Objectives vary — collect a certain colour, clear a certain area — and they change which clusters are worth taking. Boosters that clear a row, a column or an area come from the big matches, which makes building them the plan rather than a bonus.
