About Super Chains

Numbers sit on blocks and you link them into chains, either climbing, descending or staying level. Each of those three rules gives you a different way to read the same board, and that is where the game finds its depth.

When a board stalls there are Heroic Helpers to call on, and knowing when to spend one is part of playing well rather than an admission of defeat. Cleared chains uncover creatures as you go. Portrait at 600 by 800, so a phone suits it.

How to play

  1. Read the numbers on the board before you start a chain.
  2. Link blocks that rise, fall or match in value.
  3. Make the chain as long as the board allows.
  4. Call in a Heroic Helper when you run out of moves.

Controls

Tap or clickEverything. One input does the whole game.

Tips

  • Take the long chain over the quick one. A board cleared in fewer moves leaves you more to work with.
  • Hold a Helper back. Spent on an easy board it saves you nothing.
