Mind Boggle
Dig a match-3 board, beat the clock, swipe the dump before time runs out.
The game
Clear as much of the board as you can before the clock runs out. Tap or click a piece, then an adjacent one, to swap them; or drag from a piece toward a neighbor in one motion. Line up three or more of the same piece in a row or column and they clear. Pieces above a gap fall, new pieces drop in from the top, and a refill that lines up another match cascades for a multiplied score.
Mind Boggle is a persistent dig campaign: each level unlocks at your own pace and your progress is saved in this browser. Levels 1 through 10 are built now, starting with dirt and mining tools and adding new piece types as you go deeper — later levels are on the way.
Two pieces per level are tools: pickaxe and shovel. They never move and act as a floor nothing falls through. Two more are wildcards -- blue electronics and red battle remnants -- rare finds that can swap with any neighboring piece, though they still only clear on a genuine 3-in-a-row.
When the clock hits zero, every piece except the tools falls to the bottom of its column. For the next 20 seconds you can swipe a piece trapped above a tool sideways into an open column to free it before results lock in. Clear the last built level and a short credits roll plays before your final score, best chain, and match count.
