  • Finish the week in the top 3: 10, 6 or 3 Arcade Tokens, to spend at the Prize Counter (Artie, in the Lobby): a trophy of each minigame for your home, the minigame auras and more.
  • Earn a medal: 5, 10 or 15 gems, once each.
  • Do today’s challenge: 10 gems, once a day.
  • Do a feat: 10 gems, once each.
  • Solve the puzzle of the day: 10 gems, once a day.
  • Crates fall into the hangar two at a time. Move them with the left and right arrows, turn them with the up arrow, and hold the down arrow to drop them faster.
  • In a hurry? Press Space and the pair drops all the way at once. Two pale squares on the board show where it will land.
  • On a phone, use the four buttons - or your finger on the game: slide to move the pair, tap to turn it, slide down fast to drop it.
  • Not the pair you need? Press C (or tap Hold above the board) to keep it for later. The one you kept before comes back. Once per pair.
  • You can see the next two pairs, so plan ahead.
  • Some crates are mines: spiky balls with a grumpy face. A mine blows up every crate of its own colour that touches it - and the crates of that colour touching those.
  • A mine next to no crate of its colour just waits. Bring it one later!
  • Watch out for chained crates: every third pair you land, each one drops a new crate on its column. The dots on it count down: 3, 2, 1. One red dot means the next pair sets it off.
  • From level 3 you get special crates. The rainbow mine blows up any colour it touches. The rocket (two arrows) clears its whole row when it lands. The paint crate (a drop) gives its colour to the crates around it.
  • Every 5th level is Munidark’s: grey steel crates fall too. They match no colour. A blast next to one cracks it; a second blast breaks it.
  • Blow up enough crates to clear the level: 50 on level 1, 10 more each level. The board is emptied and the next level is a bit faster, with more colours.
  • From level 2 each level has a bonus goal, shown above the board - like "a blast of 8" or "3 blasts in a row". Do it for 500 points.
  • When the crates get near the top they shake and you hear a beat. The first time there is no room left, you get a second chance: the top three rows are blown away. The next time, the game is over.
  • Hard to tell two colours apart? Press N (or use the switch on the title) to draw a shape on every colour.
  • Need a break? Press the pause button at the top left of the window, or the P key. The game also pauses by itself if you switch to another window.

Scoring

  • 50 points for each crate blown up (the mine counts too).
  • A blast makes the crates above fall. If that sets off another mine, every crate is worth 30 points more - and 30 more again for the next one in the row.
  • A big blast - 8 crates or more at once - gives 20 points more for each crate.
  • 500 points for the level’s bonus goal.
  • Press the gold trophy at the top left of the game’s window. It shows two boards: This week and All time.
  • This week: your best score since Monday. The board starts empty every Monday, so everyone has a new chance.
  • When the week ends, the top 3 win Arcade Tokens: 10 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd.
  • Spend them at the Prize Counter: press Prize Counter under the boards, or talk to Artie in the Lobby. It has the Minigame Surprise Box, a trophy for every minigame to put in your home, and every minigame aura.

Get far enough in one game and you earn a medal, with gems. Each medal gives its gems once.

  • Bronze5 gemsReach level 3.
  • Silver10 gemsReach level 5.
  • Gold15 gemsReach level 8. Gold also gives you the Bomb Montana XL deep black.

Every day there is one small goal. Do it and you get 10 gems. Tomorrow there is a new one. It is one of these:

  • Reach level 3 in one game.
  • Score 8,000 points in one game.
  • Finish 3 games.
  • Blow up 150 crates in one day.
  • On the game’s title, press Puzzle of the day. Everyone on the island gets the same board that day.
  • Some crates are already there. You get 5 pairs, in a set order - each one a mine and a crate of the same colour. Empty the board!
  • Tip: put each pair so that it touches every crate of its colour.
  • Solve it and you get 10 gems, once a day. You can try as often as you like.

Four things to pull off. Each one gives 10 gems, once. The trophy at the top left of the game’s window shows which you have.

  • Fireworks10 gemsMake 4 blasts in a row.
  • Demolition10 gemsBlow up 12 crates in one blast.
  • Tidy hangar10 gemsClear a level without the crates passing the middle of the board.
  • Bomb squad10 gemsBlow up 1,000 crates in all, over as many games as you need.
  • The levels never end: each one is a little harder.
  • Your avatar waits in the room while you play; the others see a game controller over you.
  • Every game is checked by the island's server: a score that doesn't add up isn't counted.
