What is Tarantas

Tarantas is a lively arcade puzzle where you match colorful tiles to clear the board and chase high scores. It's easy to pick up but offers layers of strategy for those who want to master it.

How to Play

Swap adjacent tiles to align three or more of the same color in a row or column. Matching tiles disappear, new ones fall in, and you aim to create combos and use power-ups to clear the board before it fills up.

Tips for Playing

  • Look for possible chains before making a move to set up cascading matches.
  • Prioritize clearing tiles near the bottom of the board to create larger falling groups.
  • Save power-ups for when the board is nearly full to maximize their effect.
  • Keep an eye on the timer or limited moves, and plan each swap to avoid wasting them.
  • Practice matching in patterns like L-shapes or T-shapes to trigger special bonus tiles.
