Gem Crush — a free online arcade game on TotType
Gem Crush is a colorful match-3 puzzle where you swap adjacent gems to line up three or more of the same color and watch them cascade for bonus points. Forge powerful gems by matching four in a line for a LINE gem that clears entire rows and columns, match an L or T shape for a BOMB that blasts a 3x3 area, or match five in a line for a COLOR gem that clears every gem of that color across the board. Beat level targets before your move budget runs out to climb higher and higher. Play this free online arcade game on any phone, tablet, or desktop browser with pure touch controls and WASD keyboard support.
How to play Gem Crush
Tap a gem then tap an adjacent gem to swap them (or drag between two). Line up 3+ of one color to clear them; gems fall and cascade for combo points.
Tips & tricks
- Chain consecutive cascades by stacking quick matches — each cascade multiplies your points by the combo counter, so the same four gems in a combo chain are worth far more than four gems on your first move.
- Forge special gems as soon as you can: match exactly four gems in a line to earn a LINE gem that clears a whole row and column when you swap it, creating even larger cascades and bigger combo multipliers.
- Save your special gems for dense clusters — a single BOMB or COLOR gem swap can clear 10+ gems at once and trigger a cascade that clears the whole board, banking massive points and boosting your level progress.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Gem Crush?
Tap a gem, then tap an adjacent gem to swap them (or drag between two) — if that swap lines up three or more gems of the same color, they clear and gems above fall to fill the gaps, triggering combos. Your goal is to hit the target score before running out of moves, and you advance to harder levels with higher targets and tighter move budgets.
What do the special gems do?
Match four in a line to forge a LINE gem (clears its whole row and column), match an L or T shape to forge a BOMB gem (clears a 3x3 area), or match five in a line to forge a COLOR gem (clears every gem of one color on the board). Swapping a special gem activates it immediately for a huge combo bonus.
Can I play Gem Crush on my phone?
