Gorillas Tiles Of The Unexpected

The tiles carry the artwork of the virtual band Gorillaz, and the rules belong to the collapse family rather than to a stacked pile. Click any clump of two or more identical neighbours and the whole clump goes at once, which means a single click can be worth two tiles or ten.

What happens after the clump vanishes is what decides a run. Tiles above the hole fall into it, and once a column empties the remaining columns slide to the left, so the arrangement you memorised a second ago is not the arrangement in front of you now. A second stacked layout here is Mahjong Gardens.

Feig Ltd. reworked the 2008 original into three levels of rising difficulty, and bomb mode is the pressure valve. When no matching neighbours are left anywhere, a bomb removes a lone tile, forces fresh combinations into place and reopens a level that had looked finished. Only tiles with an open side move in the Alchemy board too.

Nothing counts down while you think, since the build carries no time limit, so chain reactions are the only thing worth chasing: set up a clearance that collapses into a second and a third match and the score climbs far faster than steady single-clump clicking. The 900 by 600 stage takes the full screen toggle well, and the same board works under a finger on a phone. The same free-tile rule governs the Mania board.

1. Look for two or more identical tiles sitting side by side; a lone tile cannot be taken.
2. Click the group and it clears in one go, so the larger the group the better the return.
3. Watch the tiles above drop into the gap and the columns shift left before choosing the next group.
4. Call in a bomb when no matching neighbours remain, then work through the fresh arrangement it leaves behind.
5. Strip all three levels of the remaster to finish the game.

• Chase the collapse — a clearance that lets falling tiles land on their own twins scores far more than the same tiles taken one clump at a time.
• Empty a column deliberately — the leftward shift pushes distant tiles together, and that is the cheapest way to build a new group.
• Hold the bombs — they exist for a dead board, not for the first awkward tile you meet.
• Take the third level slowly — the band artwork reuses its colour palette and difficulty climbs across the three stages.
• Turn on full screen — the 900 by 600 grid enlarges cleanly and the near-identical panels stop blending together.
