Boosters — How they work

Updated over 4 months ago

Overview

Boosters are powerful special items created by matching large groups of blocks. They’re the fastest way to remove obstacles and finish a level’s target blocks. Build boosters, save them for the right moment, and combine them for massive effects.


How boosters are created

  • Fire Cracker — made by matching 5 blocks.

  • Water Balloon — made by matching 7 or 8 blocks.

  • Lollipop — made by matching 9 or more blocks.

  • Super Lollipop — the stronger variant of the Lollipop; see the Super Lollipop article for details and special rules.


Fire Cracker

  • Effect: Clears a full row or column.

  • Notes: The Fire Cracker’s orientation (row or column) is randomized when it is created. When two Fire Crackers are combined, the result clears both a row and a column.

Water Balloon

  • Effect: Local area clear — removes the blocks immediately surrounding the Water Balloon (the usual 8 blocks around it).

  • Notes: Two adjacent Water Balloons produce a much larger explosion than a single Water Balloon.

Lollipop

  • Effect: Removes every regular block of the chosen color from the board (very large clear).

  • Notes: Lollipop is the most powerful single booster for clearing regular blocks.

Super Lollipop

  • Effect: Stronger than a Lollipop — removes two colors for an even bigger board clear.

  • Notes: See the Super Lollipop article for full details and how to obtain it. (paste Super Lollipop link here)


Combining boosters — practical, exact combos

Combining boosters almost always produces a far stronger effect. These are the exact, game-tested behaviors to rely on:

  • Fire Cracker + Fire Cracker → clears both a row and a column (one vertical + one horizontal).

  • Fire Cracker + Lollipop → converts every block of the Lollipop’s color into Fire Crackers (e.g., Blue Lollipop + Fire Cracker turns all blue blocks into Fire Crackers), then those Fire Crackers trigger for a distributed board clear.

  • Water Balloon + Lollipop → converts every block of the Lollipop’s color into Water Balloons (all blocks of that color become local explosions).

  • Lollipop + Lollipop → clears all regular blocks on the board (note: some obstacles may survive and require specific hits or boosters).

  • Fire Cracker + Water Balloon → summons three Fire Crackers side-by-side in each direction (very large line clears).

  • Water Balloon + Water Balloon (adjacent) → produces a much larger area explosion than a single Water Balloon.

  • Lollipop + (any booster) → generally creates very large or board-wide effects; Lollipop combined with Fire Cracker or Water Balloon is especially destructive.


Tips & best practices

  • Save big boosters for moments they’ll directly finish the objective.

  • Open the board early by removing obstacles so you can form large matches.

  • Aim for combos, not single boosters — two boosters combined usually outperform one big booster.

  • Practice the timing: sometimes delaying activation lets cascades form a better booster to combine.


Troubleshooting

  • “My combo didn’t work.” Make sure the boosters were placed adjacent (or combined) as required — many combos need two boosters to be next to each other and triggered together.

  • “My Inventory booster is missing.” Inventory boosters must be used from the Inventory; boosters created on the board must be used before the level ends. If something looks off, capture a screenshot for internal review.
