Gimmicks

Objects are things that appear in the play area. Gimmicks are objects which are not viruses or overlays over objects. Some make the gameplay more challenging while some aid the player.

Making matches with viruses, capsules, and colored gimmicks eliminates them. This also causes the non-colored objects surrounding the match to be "attacked" (not an official term), activating their function.

Icons	Object/Gimmick	Description
	Virus	These come in seven different colors, and most stages require the player to eliminate all of them to clear the stage.
	Blocks	Breakable by attacking it. Blocks can contain viruses and other objects like Shells.
	Rock	Unbreakable block.
	Exploder	Colored object which when triggered, attacks objects in the 8 tiles surrounding it after a short delay.
	Shell	Colored object which when triggered, moves to the right, attacking any object in its way, then, upon reaching the right side of the play area, moves back towards the left, attacking more objects and disappears upon reaching the left side of the play area.
	Skill Charger	Colored object which when triggered, adds 60 points to the skill meter gauge.
	Ice	An overlay which protects the object. It can be either half or full, requiring one or two attacks respectively to deplete it.
	Coin Blocks	Some stages require the player to collect coins hidden in blocks. These coin blocks usually contain three coins, with each attack generating one. It converts to a Rock when it has no more coins.
	Bubbles	An overlay which causes the object to float upwards until it collides with another object.
	Blue Coins	Some stages display these coins in the background, and usually require the player to collect them to clear the stage. They can be collected by eliminating all objects that are covering the coin.
	Cage	A colored overlay which protects an object from interaction. The player must eliminate the Lock Block of the corresponding color to remove all of the corresponding color's cages.
	Lock Blocks	Eliminate this colored object to remove all of the corresponding color's cages.
	Floatie Virus	These special types of viruses require three attacks to eliminate. After each attack before they are eliminated, they will teleport to a random empty tile.
	Dust	An overlay that hides the object. Can be cleared when a capsule is placed next to it or objects are eliminated near it.
	Purple Coins	Some stages contain these coins as objects and usually require the player to collect them to clear the stage. They can be collected by attacking it.
	Caged Coins	These are Purple Coins which can't be interacted with until the previous set of Purple Coins are collected.
	Cloud	An overlay that hides the object, but fades between transparent and opaque after random intervals (few seconds).
	Crate	Similar to a Block, but requires up to 4 attacks to eliminate.
	Ice Fan	Is initially inactive. When attacked, it becomes active, and any subsequent attacks adds half Ice to a random virus.
	Doors and Keys	The Door is an object which is eliminated only when the Door Key (which is always in a Bubble) touches it.
	Colorful Crates	Similar to Crates, but only breaks from attacks of the same color.
	Capsule Plus	Colored object when eliminated, adds the indicated number of capsules. The number will decrease over time.
	Barrels	Similar to a Block, but requires up to 2 attacks to eliminate, and always contains a virus or object. The second form partially shows the object it contains.
	Green Coins	Despite looking like a coin, no stages currently require collecting them. Whenever a capsule (half or full) is placed without clearing any objects, all Green Coins toggle between its open state and its barrier-ed state. They can be eliminated by attacking it in its open state.
	Bubble Machine	Is initially inactive. When attacked, it becomes active, and any subsequent attacks adds a Bubble to a random virus.
