The basic rules for Columns are thus: line up three or more jewels of like color
horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and they’ll shatter—allowing any jewels above them
to drop into their place. Combinations are not only possible—but highly encouraged
as point totals will multiply based on how many jewels shatter in sequence.
Take on a friend in arcade mode or compete in a Flash Challenge, where you're forced to
work through layers of pre-placed jewels in an effort to shatter the flashing jewel at the
very bottom of the screen.

Yuria is a strange land, with evil oppressors. Death Adder’s soldiers have invaded every
village. And Death Adder himself has massacred thousands. Worse yet, he’s kidnapped
the King and his daughter, the Princess, and seized the Golden Axe. Only the strongest
and craftiest warriors now have any chance of defeating him.
Three warriors appear to challenge Death Adder. Ax-Battler, the terrible Barbarian,
arrives from the far plains. His mighty strength and courage is a match for any enemy.
Tyris-Flare, the Amazon, appears from the deep jungles to overcome the oppressors. With
sword-skill and Fire Magic she vows to save the Kingdom. Gilius-Thunderhead, the Dwarf,
swings a deadly axe. His tricks and speed in battle can outwit even the most brutal giant.
These three, like many others, have lost cherished loved ones in the war against the
reptile fiend, Death Adder. Now they sweat to defeat him—even at the cost of their lives.
The challenge is overwhelming: defeat all of Death Adder’s soldiers and beasts, travel the
treacherous route to his castle, demolish Death Adder Jr., and then face your most
powerful enemy, Death Adder himself.
