Meet the monsters

Their horns show you how they move.

Each monster moves in its own way. Learn the four, and every board starts to make sense.

Dash, the orange monster

Dash

Moves in straight lines: up, down, left or right, as far as it likes.

Four horns, one for each straight line.

Slash, the blue monster

Slash

Slides along the diagonals, as far as it likes.

Four spikes on the slant.

Hook, the green monster

Hook

Hops in an L: two squares one way, then one across. It leaps over anything.

A hooked tail, bent like its jump.

Nova, the purple monster

Nova

Goes every way at once: straight lines and diagonals, as far as it likes.

Spikes all the way round.

Two ways to play

Bring them home, or bring them together.

Homecoming

Every square has a color. Help every monster return home to a square of its own color.

Huddle

No colored squares here. Bring each color together into one group, side by side or top to bottom.

A voyage through space

From the Moon to Andromeda.

Start on the Moon with Earth in the sky. Then head out past Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, through the Kuiper belt, into glowing nebulas, around a black hole and all the way to Andromeda.

Along the way

New surprises in every zone.

Blocks

They get in the way. Sliders stop at a block, so you have to go around. Hook simply leaps over.

Gems

Sweep them up by landing on one, starting from one or sliding right over it.

Turning boards

Some boards turn while you play. The puzzle never changes, only the way you look at it.

Super nodes

One special puzzle in every zone. Solve it and the board paints a picture.
