## Description
_Squelchies_ is a color-matching game that tests both your reaction time and
your ability to strategize. In the game, rows of squelchies come down from the
top of the screen. You can move one or a group of squelchies from a column to
another. Depending on the difficulty, once you match up enough squelchies of
the same color, they will disappear from the screen. On the Beginner and Easy
levels three squelchies are required, on Medium and Hard – four squelchies,
while the Expert difficulty requires groups of at least five squelchies. It’s
not necessary for the squelchies to be in a single column to perform a match.
It’s enough for them to be adjacent to each other. In a similar manner, once
you form a color group across several columns, the only way to move them to
other columns would be by picking the entire group.
As you perform successful matches, Chucky the Crab will slowly move on the
ocean floor towards the treasure chest. The wave ends once he reaches it and
you can proceed to the next one. After winning against three waves, you can
try your luck with a Jackpot spin. There are several power-ups that can help
you in the game. The Magic Starfish changes a color into another one, the
Whirlpool shuffles all the squelchies, while the Blowfish can eat an entire
row of them. Sometimes additional items will appear among the squelchies.
Collecting five kings will activate the bonus round; the eggs will hatch into
squelchies after doing matches near them; the anchors can’t be moved, but you
can still use them to create color groups.
Most of the actions you do in the game can earn you tokens. You can also
advance through 50 ranks, based on your skill and progress.
