How to Play
Snack Swap fills an 8×8 board with six snacks: donuts, cookies, strawberries, ice pops, cupcakes and macarons. Each has its own color and its own outline, so you can tell them apart at a glance. Swipe a snack toward a neighbour to swap the two, or tap one and then the other.
A swap has to line up three or more of the same snack in a row or a column. Those snacks clear, the ones above drop, and new ones fall in from the top. If that lines up more, they clear too, and each step of the chain counts for more. You have 30 swaps; make them count.
Rules
- Only neighbouring snacks can swap. A swap that lines nothing up slides back and doesn't use a move.
- Four in a line make a Zapper: a row of four gives one that clears its whole row, a column of four one that clears its column.
- An L or a T shape makes a Popper, which clears the 3×3 square around it.
- Five in a line make a Sugar Star. Swap it with any snack to clear every snack of that kind.
- Swap two specials together for a combo: two Zappers clear a cross, a Zapper and a Popper three rows and three columns, two Poppers a 5×5 square. A Sugar Star turns every snack of the other's kind into that special; two Sugar Stars clear the board.
- Each snack cleared scores 10. Making and setting off specials adds a bonus, and chain steps multiply everything: x2, then x3, up to x8.
- When the moves run out, every special left goes off in turn for a 250 bonus each. If no swap is possible, the board shuffles for free.
Tips & Strategy
Look low first
Matches near the bottom move the most snacks, so they set off more chains than the same match at the top.
Build before you fire
A Zapper or Popper swapped into another special beats setting it off alone, so line two up side by side first.
Keep something for the end
Specials left when the moves run out go off anyway, with a bonus, so late swaps are a good time to make one.
FAQ
What if I can't see a move?
Wait a few seconds and two snacks that can swap lean toward each other, or press Hint. Hints are free.
Why did my swap snap back?
It didn't line up three of a kind. That costs nothing: try another pair.
How do the leaderboards stay fair?
Each game's snacks come from a seed our server signs when you press Start. When you finish, it replays every swap and works out the score itself.
