Columns is an action puzzle game that has you manipulating groups of three connected jewels in order to create matches horizontally, diagonally, or vertically. Each match of three or more will remove the colorful gems from the playing field, as additional columns fall from the top of the screen. Create combo chains to improve your high score and advance to more challenging, faster-paced levels. The game ends when the columns reach the top of the screen, preventing any additional moves. Columns features both solo and head-to-head play against a friend. A choice of three starting levels is included for a custom challenge. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
