Rules and Mechanics

• Use your mouse to drag and hold from momoyo and connect the gems with the same matching colours. Let go to let momoyo move towards your path and collect the gems. you do not need more than 3 gems connected.
• If you have connected enough gems, momoyo will generate a rainbow gem. Rainbow gems lets you connect to a different colour. it is also your currency to buy upgrades in the shop.
• On each day, momoyo has a limited amount of moves. Once all moves are used, the day will end and you can go to the shop to buy upgrades to help you.
• Orders will be shown on the right, fulfill orders to be rewarded with rainbow gems at the end of the day.
• On the board there will be enemies that have their own attack patter. enemies cannot be defeated or crossed over. Red tiles signify the tiles enemies are about to attack, do not land on those tiles or you will lose 5 turns as damage.
• The goal for this game is to buy the market from the shop.
