About Columns III: Revenge of Columns
Columns III: Revenge of Columns is a puzzle game where players manipulate falling groups of colored jewels. The primary objective involves creating lines of three or more matching jewels, which can be aligned horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to clear them from the screen. During descent, the sequence of colors within each falling group can be rearranged.
Several distinct modes are available, including competitive Versus matches, timed Time Trials, and Arcade play. Specific challenges, such as targeting a particular jewel type for removal, are also present. The gameplay is noted for its fast-paced nature.
New elements introduced in this installment include magical items that provide strategic mid-game effects and a rising bar mechanic designed to disrupt an opponent's playfield.
