If there's no direct butterfly matches on, look for verticals below them as these buy you a bit more time.
There's no timer so look for hypercube and star gem possibilities as these can really help you out. Pick off those butterflies as soon as possible. This is pretty frustrating but stick with it as you'll be earning stars/hypers for those first badges.īUTTERFLY MONARCH - Score 500,000 Points in Butterflies The most common colour is the one you want to crash your hypercube into. If you get a hypercube, look at the gems near the rock. Star gems can be incredibly helpful if near the bottom. The placement of relics is pretty random and you can't miss them so just focus on getting low (there is an achievement for getting to a depth of 200). The key is to break rocks at the bottom of the screen so focus on making matches next to the rocks. This is the harder of the two Diamond Mine badges. RELIC HUNTER - Collect 12 Artifacts in Diamond Mine I got one at around 7x and it pushed me over 12x.ĭIAMOND MINER - Score 500,000 Points in Diamond Mine So pick off those verticals making sure they are in ice columns. This will get you a nice 4x combo headstart but you've still got to find another 8. Now let the ice build up in a few columns and start picking them off. If you are lucky there will be one in each potential ice column. Start up a match and instantly look for all the possible vertical matches on the board. The board has eight columns but in terms of ice it only has four (as each one is two columns wide). The only linking factor here is time so you can still get horizontal matches to set up vertical ones but be quick, this is pretty unforgiving.Ī good tip is to go for this from the very start. Getting a vertical match on a non-icey column doesn't count. To get a column combo you have to destroy an ice column (any height) with vertical matches. ICE BREAKER - Get a x12 Column Combo in Ice Storm There's an achievement for getting it to 5x but be warned, the game gets a lot tougher at 4x level. After a few matches your multiplier goes up. However, you should definitely aim to take out columns first if the chance is there. This mode has the most pressure on it so you won't have time to get clever with special gems.
Stop the rising columns of ice by getting vertical matches.
GLACIAL EXPLORER - Score 500,000 Points in Ice Storm Annoyingly each badge colour (bronze, silver, gold) restarts the count from zero so you'll need 60 in all for this. You can restart during a match also and keep your badge progress. This was my final mode-based badge and I was basically just starting matches, seeing if a flush was likely and if it wasn't I pressed 'back' to restart. That's a really handy tool for working towards flushes. If you are trying to make flushes bear in mind that making a hypercube with a row of five creates a 'joker' type gem for you which can be any colour. Just go as fast as possible while making as many special cubes as possible as they score higher, do more damage and create time bonuses.Ī little tricky but you just have to try to go for big hands where possible. HIGH VOLTAGE - Score over 500,000 Points in Lightning Mode Not sure you can really force it but you wont need to anyway. This mode only ends when you run out of matches.įINAL FRENZY - Score over 40,000 Points During a Last Hurrah in Lightning ModeĪnother easy one. Just concentrate on making matches and looking for special gem possibilities. A few star or flame gems should do the trick also.īEJEWELER - Finish a Classic Game with a score over 300,000Ī very easy badge. If you want to try and force it, look to make two hypercubes and smash them together. This will most likely happen by accident for you. I found Diamond Mine was a great mode to get them on as it practically gives them to you.Ī flame gem is created when you make a row of 4.Ī star cube is created when you make an L or T shape using 5 gems.Ī hypercube is created when you make a row of 5.īLASTER - Destroy 50 Gems in a single move
After doing everything else in the game I still had star gems and hypercubes to get. You'll gain progress towards these three badges as you complete the game's other achievements. The four elite badges at the bottom of the badges page are not required for this achievement. This achievement is for getting at least gold level in the first 12 badges.
