Tumble Type

Tumble Type is a word puzzle where letter tiles rise from the bottom of the board while a timer pushes it down toward you. New rows appear every few seconds. Spell words quickly to clear space, but keep golden key tiles from falling off the bottom or the run ends.

Clear the board

Submitting non-golden letters charges one of three colored orb meters: red, yellow or blue. Filling a meter arms an ability in a slot. The abilities can also be combined: Red+Yellow, Yellow+Blue, Red+Blue, or all three, for seven abilities in total. Combining all three fires a rainbow beam that incinerates a column of your choice.

• Red: bomb a tile you name, letter-perfect.
• Yellow: scramble the board into fresh letters.
• Blue: freeze the timer for eight seconds.

Difficulties and scoring

The three difficulties vary the board width and the number of keys you need to rescue:

• Chill: 3 columns and 3 keys.
• Tough: 4 columns and 4 keys, with less margin for error.
• Gnarly: 5 columns and 5 keys, with a metronome of new rows and a board that does not forgive a wasted turn.

Submit words back-to-back within a four-second window to start a combo chain, earning a 1.25x multiplier that stacks higher and higher. A word made entirely of letters of one color earns a flat 2x color-match bonus; chaining both bonuses raises your score further.

Puzzles and modes

Daily puzzles give everyone the same date-seeded board, with streaks tracked from day to day. Color Rush and Target Word are bonus rounds that add different constraints and payouts.

Languages and features

The game includes seven languages, each with its own dictionary and native letter-frequency distribution: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian and Indonesian. It also has 22 achievements, cloud saves that follow you to every Steam PC, and leaderboards for each difficulty.

Colorblind mode pairs each orb color with a unique shape overlay. You can choose from five color themes—Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Candy and Monochrome—and six visual themes: Classic, Glass, Neon, Cozy, Metal and Space. Comfort options include a CRT filter toggle, a screen-shake intensity slider, optional haptics and full keyboard controls for mouse-free play.
