Each color appears 6 times: 1 circle and 5 squares.Circles are fixed in place. They cannot be moved or removed. Every row and every column contains exactly one circle.Your goal is to leave the grid as empty as possible within the given number of moves.MovementSwipe any row or column to rotate it by one position.Only the object that passes the row s or column s circle is affected. All other objects simply move with the rotation.Circle interactionsWhen an object passes a circle:An unshielded square matching the circle s color is removed, leaving an empty space. A shielded square matching the circle s color is not removed. An unshielded square of a different color gains a shield. A shielded square of a different color loses its shield. An empty space becomes a new square of the circle s color.Shielded squares are shown with a dark interior.Within each color, larger squares are closer to their matching circle.Ending the gameYou may end the game at any time.
