Controls (Keyboard):
What's the best strategy for creating chain reactions?
Focus on building "staircase" formations that collapse multiple groups sequentially when one set clears, maximizing garbage sent to opponents.
How do garbage beans affect gameplay?
Garbage beans appear as gray obstacles that can only be cleared by adjacent color matches. Skilled players can strategically use incoming garbage to set up their own chains.
Can I practice without opponents?
Yes! The game includes a dedicated practice mode to master bean mechanics before facing Dr. Robotnik's forces in story battles.
