    Overview

    SameGame Classic is an addictive color-matching puzzle game. Click a group of adjoining jewels of same color to collect them; the goal is to collect as many as possible to get the highest score.

    Bayu Rizaldhan Rayes made it in 2011 as a Flash game template and sold it on the FlashDen marketplace before releasing it as open source. The board is a grid of tiles held in a 2D array, and the template was built so the look of the balls, diamonds or whatever you want can be swapped for a new theme.

    In the game's own instructions: remove a group of adjoining gems of the same color by clicking them, and get your highest score!

    Tips

    1. The score grows with the square of the group size, so one group of 10 (90 points) beats five pairs (10 points). Clear small groups of other colors to merge a big one before you take it.
    2. Pick a color to save and avoid touching it early; the other colors will fall away around it and push its pieces together.
    3. Columns only slide left when they are completely empty, so clearing the bottom of a column is how you bring distant groups side by side.
    4. There is no bonus for an empty board and no undo, so check the highlight before you click: it shows the whole group that will go.

    Secrets

    Remove every red jewel

    During play, press Up to make every red jewel on the board vanish. No points are given, and the jewels above settle after your next click.
