Christmas Dimensions Game Background

This game was developed by Zygomatic.

How to Play Christmas Dimensions

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. On the welcome screen, select Start to begin a new session or Continue to resume a previously saved session.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Basic rules

Clear the stack of Christmas-themed cubes by selecting identical pairs of free cubes. A free cube has only one cube adjacent to it and are normally found in the edges of the stack. Beat the level by clearing the entire stack before the timer runs out.

Should you run out of valid moves, the game will automatically shuffle the cubes around.

The amount of time you have per level varies. In general, the more complex the level, the more time you get to play.

Levels

The game’s 25 levels are unlocked sequentially. You cannot replay the levels you’ve previously beaten. Each time you reload the game, you can either start from the first level or replay from the latest level you’ve unlocked.

Scoring

Each pair of cubes you clear is worth 10 points. You also receive an extra 10 points for every second left on the timer.

Clearing pairs of cubes in rapid succession will activate a multiplier, which increases the value of the next pair your clear. To receive the multiplier, clear another pair within a few seconds of it becoming active. The more pairs you clear, the higher the multiplier gets. It caps at x16. You can immediately get a 2x boost if you clear a pair of 2 x 2 cubes.

Your score is cumulative across every level you play. You can save your score upon finishing every level or if you quit the game after failing a level. You can view your score on the leaderboard by selecting High Score on the welcome screen.

Power Ups

Each stack has a few unique pairs of power up cubes. Every pair has a different effect:

• Hourglass cubes add 20 seconds to your timer.
• Lightning bolt cubes changes a large group of cubes into snowflake cubes, allowing you to clear off the stack quicker.
• 2x cubes automatically activates the multiplier.
• Rocket cubes blow up large groups of cubes.
• Star cubes give you 250 points.

Activating the power ups involves pairing them off the way you would with any other tile. Larger stacks may have multiple pairs of power up cubes within them.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Like any other Mahjong Solitaire game, your goal in the early part of the game is to open up the stack. Look for as many pairs of cubes on the outside edges of the cube to open them up. As you play the game, rotate the stack to look for free cubes that may have been obscured.

Move toward freeing up the power ups as soon as you can to free them up.
