Breaking Good

Breaking Good is a block-matching puzzle game where you combine element blocks to reach the goal shown on screen. You can view the puzzle from four angles to see all available blocks, swap one block vertically, rotate a horizontal row or shuffle the blocks. Matches can take any shape and must contain at least three blocks.

Match blocks and score

A match of three blocks gives you one atom. Each additional block doubles the atoms awarded: four blocks give two atoms, five give four, and so on. Your atom totals appear in a counter. The screen also displays your total score, the score for your last match or combo, and your best match or combo score. Combos increase the total score, which is calculated by adding the atoms from all matches and multiplying that sum by the number of matches. For example, five simultaneous matches worth 1, 1, 2, 4 and 4 atoms give a total score of (1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 4) × 5 = 60.

Reach each goal

You advance by collecting the atoms needed for the displayed goal. To make water (H₂O), for example, you can make two three-block matches of hydrogen (H) to get two H atoms, and one three-block match of oxygen (O) to get one O atom. Shuffling can produce several matches at once and help you reach a goal faster.

When you complete a goal, a new one is set and the elements are replaced accordingly. For example, carbon blocks become uranium and sulfur blocks become potassium, preserving the possibility of making matches and combos.
