The trilogy

Debrix, Erikade and Rosette. Three ways to cut gems, each with its own records.

Debrix

Play it in your browser.

Pieces enter from any of the four walls. Clear rows and columns.

How it plays
  1. 1. Pick a wallPieces slide down one of the four walls. Switch walls to spread the load.
  2. 2. Aim and dropSlide along the wall, turn the piece, then drop it. The landing hint shows where it stops.
  3. 3. Fill a lineFill a whole row or column and it clears out, freeing space and paying points.

Rosette

Play it in your browser.

Gems set in a hex tray. Rotate three around a point to close triangle clusters.

How it plays
  1. 1. Rotate a trioPick a point where three gems meet and turn them a step either way. One rotation is one turn.
  2. 2. Close a triangleSame-colour gems clear only when every one of them is part of a triangle. A bare row of three stays put.
  3. BombsBombs tick down once per turn. Clear one in a cluster of its colour to defuse it — at zero, the run ends.

Erikade

Play it in your browser.

Familiar top-down block stacking. Fill horizontal lines to clear them.

How it plays
  1. 1. Stack the wellPieces fall straight down one tall well. Move and rotate them to pack the floor tight.
  2. 2. Fill a lineA full horizontal row clears and pays points. Clear several with one piece for the big payouts.
  3. 3. Watch the topThe stack ends the run at the top. Clear lines to keep it low.

Where it comes from

Rubetris began as a gift for Ruby. Every game in the trilogy is named for someone close to its maker.

The Heritage scenes in Debrix are Ukrainian: the Kyiv skyline, the Golden Gate, a sunflower field, a Carpathian valley, Odesa harbour and Lviv rooftops, and every one of them flies the Ukrainian flag. Rubetris stands with Ukraine.
