The aim is to build horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines formed by at least three diamonds of the same color: once built, these lines are eliminated from the playing area leaving it free space they previously occupied. The "target" to be reached is different for each level and comes briefly described at each stage change: single gems, horizontal lines, vertical, diagonal, "stars" and "target pieces". Target pieces are drawn with an exclamation point ! and must be eliminated to finish the stage.
