Description Columns
Columns is loosely derived from Tetris, since it consists of arranging the falling blocks so that they are eliminated. However, in Columns it is about groups of 3 blocks of the same size but different color, which must be arranged in sequences of 3 or more, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Sequences of 4 or 5 count for double or triple points, and diagonal sequences score the most points. The real trick is to create 'combos', where one line makes other blocks fall to create other lines.
In addition to the normal game mode, there is also a 'flash' mode, in which the objective is simply to remove a particular block from the base of the pre-formed brick stack. The difficulty of this mode can be determined by increasing the number of complete rows that are already in place.
