The game introduces a variety of power-ups and special bug types to help players navigate the later, more challenging levels. These include Rewind Bugs to undo mistakes, Ballistic Bugs for long-range shots, and Stop! bugs to freeze the action temporarily. Players can also take advantage of wild, star, blossom, and color-specific bugs, each with their own unique abilities to clear the screen more effectively.

❤ Challenging Progression and Replayability

As players progress, the levels become increasingly complex and difficult, requiring a mastery of the match-3 mechanics and an ability to plan ahead. Many reviewers have highlighted the steep challenge curve, particularly in the later stages, which adds to the game's addictive and rewarding nature. Furthermore, the inclusion of time trials and the ability to replay levels encourages players to hone their skills and chase high scores, further extending the game's replayability.
