Columns gameplay on the Sega Game gear
Columns was one of the many tile-matching puzzle games to appear that were inspired by Tetris.
The area of play is enclosed within a tall, rectangular playing area.
Columns of three different symbols appear, one at a time, at the top and fall to the bottom, landing either on the floor or on top of previously-fallen "columns".
A player can move the column left and right, and can also cycle the positions of the symbols within it. After a column lands, if three or more of the same symbols are connected in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, those symbols disappear.
Occasionally, a special column with a multicolor Magic Jewel appears. It destroys all the jewels with the same color as the one underneath it.
The columns fall at a faster rate as the player progresses. The goal of the game is to play for as long as possible before the well fills up with jewels, which ends the game.
