The Walls of Jericho

The Walls of Jericho is an awesome puzzle game using move and match to crumble stone blocks. Your faithful followers won't stay around forever, though, unless you can solve the puzzle, activate powerful combos and bring down the walls!

Click-drag blocks to move them around. Match 3 or more of a kind in a row to crumble them. Unlike many other click-and-match games, you can drag blocks as far as you want.

Red blocks conceal POWER BLOCKS, which can destroy many ordinary blocks when matched up 3 in a row. Click red blocks to reveal what power they contain.

Your followers will leave if you don't crumble enough blocks! Once they're gone, your game is over!

The only way to totally demolish the wall is by activating the ARK. This is done by matching up 3 ARK blocks, which appear as you play...once you activate the ARK the level is complete!

Strategic Tips and Scoring:

---

Your followers will become more and more difficult to keep around. Move quick and use strategy to reach the higher levels.

Strategy 1: Bread n Butter...

There's more to life than flashy power block moves! Using simple chain combos can really add up. The key is to go for combos that can be made with ONE move. Look for these and other basic shapes throughout the game board to make quick-crumbles and combos happen.

Strategy 2: Percolatin' Power Blocks...

Though it can be tempting to drag power blocks all over the board, this technique wastes a lot of time and just doesn't work at higher levels. Try focusing on normal blocks and one-move oppurtunities. As more blocks are destroyed, the power blocks will gather near the bottom of the board, where they can be more quickly gathered and activated.

Strategy 3: Stay close, stay calm...

When things are moving fast, you can lose the game just by looking around too much. Keep your moves focused in the immediate area around your pointer, and try to clear dense areas before moving off to other areas. Wandering the board wastes a lot of time as your brain and eyes re-map the block layout.
