The trilogy

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

Debrix: a green piece sliding down the east wall of the gem well toward a floor of pale gems, the green score strip above the well reading Score, Speed and Clears with the next piece at its right end, and the dusk skyline scene beside it.

Debrix

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.
Erikade: a yellow piece falling into a teal well where white pieces stack up from the floor, the score panel on the left and the next piece on the right.

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.
Rosette: a hex tray of coloured gems with three highlighted where they meet and a bomb counting down from 6, the score panel on the left.

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.

Verified rankings

When a run ends in your browser, the game sends the moves, the rules and the score to the rankings server. The server replays the moves itself and ranks only what reproduces. No account, no sign-in: you compete under a name made for your device, like Sapphire-4F2A.

Send verified runs to the rubetris.com rankings under a device-generated name. Off deletes that name and sends nothing.

The rankings live inside the web build, under Rankings on the main menu.

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.

The Heritage look in Debrix: a phosphor score strip over the well, beside a dusk silhouette of the Kyiv skyline with the Lavra bell tower, domes and the Motherland monument above the river, the Ukrainian flag flying on the shore.
