Pixel Path
A grid of colored tiles represents a path puzzle. Your character stands at the start tile and needs to reach the end tile, but you can only step on tiles that match a specific color pattern shown at the top of the screen. Step on the wrong color and the tile crumbles, costing a life. The patterns start simple: alternate red and blue. They progress to complex sequences like red-blue-green-red-green with branching paths where you choose which route to take. Some tiles are switches that change the color of adjacent tiles when stepped on, creating chain reactions. Each world has a theme: the forest world has mud tiles that slow movement, the ice world has slippery tiles that slide your character two spaces, and the lava world has tiles that disappear after one second.

Puzzle Strategies
Focus on mastering the core mechanic early: a grid of colored tiles represents a path puzzle. Building combos consistently is more effective than going for high-risk plays. Safe combos add up over time. Take a moment to study the full layout before making your first move. Planning ahead saves resources and avoids dead ends. Look for chain opportunities: clearing one group often sets up the next match. Planning two moves ahead makes a big difference. Plan your drag sequences before committing. Moving objects in the right order prevents dead ends.
