◇◇◇ World & System ◇◇◇
◯ Setting: A pop cyber‑jungle
Adorable animals line the glowing board. Don’t be fooled—when your links connect as planned, it’s ultra‑satisfying! Extend chains and paint the board your way.

◯ Goal
Hit a high score within 60 seconds! Link 3 or more of the same type (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) to clear. Chain actions quickly to raise the combo multiplier and watch your points accelerate.

◯ Special Pieces (auto‑generated from chain length)
The longer the chain, the stronger the piece created at the **last touched tile**!
• 4 tiles: Horizontal sweep (HORIZONTAL)
• 5 tiles: Area blast (BOMB)
• 7+ tiles: Clear all of the same color (RAINBOW)
*On clear, effects expand across row/column/area/same‑color for explosive satisfaction and big cascades!*

◯ Cascades & Combos
After clears, tiles fall and refill automatically. Any new **3‑in‑a‑row (vertical/horizontal)** triggers a cascade! Link again within **1.5s** to raise your combo level—your score multiplier ramps up fast.

◯ Time Bonus (❤ LIFE)
Clear heart tiles to gain **+5s** each. Collect smartly for marathon runs!

◯ Shuffle
Your last‑resort lifesaver. When you have **30s or more** remaining, reshuffle the board (**-30s**) to find new chances for a comeback!

◯ Sound & Visuals
Looping BGM and **7** crisp SFX keep the tempo high. Clears, cascades, and item pickups burst with sparkly particles for ever‑better game feel.
