How To Play

Game Goals:

Zenerchi is a positive state of mind created by solving the puzzles of life.

Journey Mode:

• Click and drag the desired ring to make columns of three or more matching colors.
• Creating matches of the same color as the Color Container will gradually fill the container. Larger matches will fill the Containers faster.
• Fill all of the containers before the time runs out to complete the level successfully.

Zen Mode:

• Click and drag the desired ring to make columns of three or more matching colors.
• Creating matches of the same color as the color center will gradually fill the container.
• Pay special attention to the Counters. Each move you make will decrease the counter by one. When the Counter reaches zero is will transform into a blocker.
• This Mode has no time limit. Players lose the level when no more turns are available.

Power-Ups:

Creating columns of five matching colors will result in a random Burst. Double click the Burst to activate it.

• Small Burst - The Small Bust destroys the four pieces adjacent to or surrounding the Burst including Blockers.
• Column Burst - The Column Burst clears an entire gameboard column including Bursts.
• Ring Burst - The Ring Burst clears an entire gameboard ring including Blockers.
• Change Burst - The Change Burst changes the color of the six pieces adjacent to or surrounding the Burst to the color of the nearest Container.
• Color Burst - The Color Burst destroys all pieces of that color on the gameboard.

Obstacles:

• Binders - Binders hold two rings together. Binders can be destroyed by matching either bound piece in a color match or by using certain Bursts.
• Enigmas - Enigmas force two rings to move in opposite directions. Destroy them by using them in matches or with certain Bursts.
• Color Blockers - Color Blockers prevent rings from turning and energy from flowing into a Color Container. Destroy them by using them in matches or with certain Bursts.
• Grey Blockers - Grey Blockers acts the same as Color Blockers but can only be destroyed using certain Bursts.
