📋What are the rules of Rune Orbs?

• ▸The chain of orbs moves continuously along the carved stone path toward the dark hole.
• ▸If any orb reaches the hole, the game ends immediately.
• ▸Matching 3+ orbs of the same color destroys them and earns points.
• ▸Each chain reaction adds a combo multiplier to the score.
• ▸Special orbs appear in the chain: Wild (matches any color), Bomb (destroys nearby orbs), Lightning (clears all orbs of one color), Slow (slows the chain), Reverse (reverses chain direction), Stone (blocks matching until cleared), and Golden (triple points).
• ▸Your Rune Charge fills as you make matches. When full, fire a homing rainbow orb that seeks the best target.
• ▸Campaign mode: 60 levels across 4 worlds. Reach the score target and clear the chain to earn 1–3 stars.
• ▸Endless mode: the chain never ends — survive as long as possible.
• ▸Time Attack: clear as many orbs as you can in 90 seconds.
• ▸Daily Challenge: one unique puzzle per day, resets at midnight.

💡What are the best tips for winning at Rune Orbs?

• ★Aim for gaps in the chain — inserting an orb between a matching cluster is far more effective than hitting the front.
• ★Let the chain move slightly so that matches align naturally before firing.
• ★Wild orbs are rare — save them for moments when the chain is dangerously close to the hole.
• ★Chain reactions earn exponentially more points — set up combos rather than popping singles.
• ★In Time Attack, speed matters more than accuracy. Fire fast and trust lucky bounces.
• ★Fill your Rune Charge before a boss level — the homing orb can clear entire color groups in one shot.
• ★Reduce motion in Settings if particles affect your ability to track the chain on mobile.
