Introducing the basics of BTS Island: In the SEOM
Gameplay Basics
The primary way of gameplay in BTS Island is the fairly simple Match-3 format. It is very similar to Candy Crush, and we have to match 3 or more of the same color together to collect it. We can play this without spending any energy like some other similar games.

The match-3 board has a finite number of moves. We have to collect the required amount of the specified colored blocks to clear the level. On some boards, we have to cover the whole board with a mat by clearing out the non-covered spaces. We start from Level 1 and go up from there, level 2, level 3, and so on. After completing the levels, we get stars that will be used in the secondary gameplay.
Match-3 Powerups
In BTS Island, like in other Match-3 games, there are different powerups for clearing the blocks. Let’s take a look at the basic power-ups among them, and see how they help us in effectively clearing the board.
· Rocket Power-Ups: Rocket Power-ups can be made when 4 blocks are connected. This leads to a rocket forming, and when we connect this Rocket to any block, the rocket will completely clear that block’s row or column. For example, if we connect 4 red blocks horizontally, then a horizontal rocket will form, and if we connect this rocket to any block above or below the current row, then the rocket will clear out the entire affected row The same applies to vertical rockets in terms of columns.
· Bomb Power-Ups: Connecting 5 blocks in a T or L shape will form a Bomb Power-up. As in other games like this, regardless of which color block, we connect it with, it will explode and clear the blocks in a large area around it.

· Blast Power-Ups: The Blast Power-up is one of the best power-ups in the game. Connecting 5 blocks of the same color in a straight line will form this. If we connect it with a particular color, then it will clear out all the blocks of that color that are currently on the board. If we double-tap the power-up, it will clear out blocks of random colors in its vicinity.
· Top Power-Ups: Top power-ups form when we connect 4 blocks in a square. When we connect this with any other block, or double-tap it, it spins to a colored block that is part of the required number of blocks. For example, if we connect 4 blue blocks in a square, a rocket will form. Suppose we need to collect 10 red colored blocks to complete the level, then regardless of connecting or double-tapping the Top, the power-up will always spin and clear out a red block.
· The BTS BOMB: At the left of the screen, a “BTS BOMB Meter” is present. Over the course of a level, the more power-ups we use, the faster this meter fills up. When it fills up completely, a very big “BTS BOMB” will explode on the board. This bomb will clear up a very large area, making it easier to reach that level’s goal. This is the best power-up in the game.
