You choose the orders. They do the walking.
A dark glass tablet on the lagoon floor holds a picture made of glossy colored blocks.
Tap the front order of a queue and it drops into one of your five pockets.
Crabs hop out to pull free the matching blocks they can reach and carry them home to the burrow.
Every block you take opens a path to the next, so the order you pick matters.
Clear every block to win a cheering crab celebration and gold coins, but fill every pocket with colors the crabs cannot reach and you are out of room.
Rubber duck puzzle in play
100 levels in five tiers, from gentle Easy boards to Extreme. Every board is a picture made of glossy blocks, such as a strawberry, a rubber duck, an owl, a lighthouse and a mermaid, and every level is checked to be winnable and graded by hand. There is no timer, so think as long as you like.
Orders joined by a bar must load together, so you need room for both.
A padlocked order waits for its key block before it can load.
Masked orders keep their color secret until they reach the front of the queue.

Send a loaded order back to the front of its queue.
