When the player eliminates those colors in a chain reaction, those same blocks will be dropped on either the computer opponent or a friend. There are also bombs that can be used to clear out large sections at one time.

There are four game modes to choose from: Arcade Competition, Time Trials and Chain Reaction, each with their own set objectives and difficulty with more than 20 levels with photo backdrops.
