How it plays

Swap and match walnuts, almonds, pecans, and six more nut types. Line up four or more — or make an L or T shape — to charge special nuts that clear rows, blast 3×3 areas, or wipe a whole nut type off the board. Square matches bank bonus points, and cascades multiply your score.

14 pixel worlds, 70 levels

Journey from Spring Forest to the Midnight Keep, five levels to a world. Each one brings its own nuts, backdrops, and obstacles — ice, stone, vines, and spreading rot.

Nutkin the squirrel

Every few turns he scampers across your board — swiping a nut, shuffling your pieces, or leaving a bonus snack. Watch his telegraph and plan around him.

Rescue power-ups

Match beside obstacles to earn power-ups that shatter all the ice, quake every stone, whip away the vines, or cure the rot in one move.

Earn every star

Timed and move-based levels with a 5-star scoring system and per-level high scores. Replay any level to beat your best.
