How the game works

1. Choose a starting cell. In seat order (player 1 is Red, player 2 is Blue…), each player taps an empty cell to place a piece with three points. With three or more players, marked starting cells are spaced apart to prevent immediate captures in the first round.
2. Charge up. On your turn, tap one of your own pieces to add one point.
3. Burst. When a piece reaches four points, it bursts: its cell empties and one point flies up, down, left and right. Points that fly off the board are lost. (Provisional rule: pieces at edges and corners also burst at four.)
4. Capture. Pieces you hit turn your color, keep their points and gain one more. If they reach the threshold, they burst too: a chain reaction!
5. Win. Players with no pieces are eliminated and skipped. The last color remaining wins. The numbers above show how many cells each color occupies.

Variants

• Classic: Start with 3 points, burst at 4.
• Fortress: Start with 3 points, burst at 5. The fifth point is lost.
• Crossfire: Diagonal cells are neighbors too. Start with 7 points, burst at 8.
• Diagonal: Start with 3 points, burst at 4. Points fly only diagonally, not to orthogonal neighbors.
• Walls: Hatched cells are blocked. They cannot be occupied or captured, and points that hit them are lost.

Bouncing (optional)

Off by default. For new games only: points bounce off edges and walls and return to their source cell. Excess points stay there; in Fortress the fifth point is still lost. A repeating chain reaction ends the game without a winner (cycle). Reaching the resolution limit also ends it without a winner, but does not prove a cycle. You can skip long animations without changing the calculated game state.
