As you progress through the levels in various Buildings, you may encounter the following mechanics:
- Sand. Match objects over the sand and remove it from the field to complete the level!
- Stones. Break stones by matching objects next to them.
- Gold Blocks. Can you see the gold in these blocks? Match objects near the blocks to destroy them and get the gold.
- Colored Stones. Match objects of the same color next to a colored stone to break it.
- Chains. Match or destroy it to free an object from the chains.
- Oil. Match objects near the oil to remove it. If you don't destroy the oil during your move, the oil expands into an adjacent cell.
- Oil Generator. Oil oozes out of the bottle even after you clear all the cells.
- Time Bomb. Destroy all of them before you run out of moves, or they explode, and you have to start the level over again.
- Kittens. Clear the way for the kittens by matching objects between the kittens and the exit.
- Portal. This is a portal. Every object that falls into the entrance falls out of the exit.
- Feathers. Match objects directly next to the feathers to remove them.
- Conveyor or River. The river shifts all the objects by one cell each move.
- Sand Generator. Once you match several of these pouches, sand collects in the cells underneath for you to clear.
- Walls. You can't move objects through walls. They don't interfere with matching combinations, but they do slow things down!
- Shield. Only a Bomb or a Line Crusher can break a Medjay shield. Then match objects in nearby cells to clear them.
- Pie. To eat a piece of pie, match the objects in adjacent cells. Once all the plates are empty, they are removed from the field.
- Porcupines. Porcupine quills are needle-sharp! Match objects of the same color next to them, and they destroy all the objects in the row.
Note that porcupine quills change direction after each move!
- Geckos. Match the geckos to catch them. If one reaches the top, you lose!
- Water Buckets. Make matches of objects near any part of the water bucket to raise it and remove it from the field.
- Sigil. Make matches to find the jug hidden under the napkin.
- Altar. Match objects of the same color as the altar to light the magic fire. When the fire is lit, it destroys neighboring objects.
- Treasure Cup. The Treasure Cup helps you win levels. Clear the area under it to make room for new objects!
- Hardened Resin. Some objects are coated in hardened resin! Match a coated object with the same-colored objects to remove the resin.
- Press. Combine objects to start the press. Once it's full, it removes objects of the same color from the field.
- Box. Place unnecessary objects in the box. Once it's full, servants remove it from the field.
- Clepsydra. Combine objects of the same color next to the clepsydra to fill it with water. Once it's full, the water pours in the direction of the spout and changes the color of the objects there.
