I know that not everyone is here for the story or to feel accomplished, so if your part of the crowd skip to the speed run strats portion of this guide.

the game play is very simple, click on the story that you want to read, click to advance the text , and for the match three game, click on the piece you wish to move then drag it in the direction you wish to move it. And thats it you have mastered the controls.

the game mechanics are very simple, match three to make the said disappear, match 4 and get a piece that will clear out an entire row or column depending on the orientation of the the arrows on the piece, and five or more pieces will grant you a star piece that will find every piece that you matched the star with and destroy it. if you swap two column pieces it will clear both a column and a row in a plus formation. if you swap a column piece and a star it will find all the base piece and replace it with column pieces.

for the fastest time from start to the ♥♥♥ screen you will want to follow these steps (time may vary)

THIRD: do the second puzzle, there is only one option so this part shouldn't be confusing

FOURTH: complete the third puzzle, go for the pants, then click " just need to have a little think"
