How to play Chain Link
- Drag through touching tiles (diagonals too) that show the same number. After two equal tiles you may step up to the double, then keep going.
- Release to fuse the whole chain into the last tile: the sum becomes the biggest power of two it reaches. Long chains score bonus points.
- Tiles fall and refill from the top. When no two touching tiles match, you are out of moves and the run ends.
- Shuffle and Hammer save stuck boards. Stones block the board until a merge breaks them; star tiles join any chain; golden tiles pay coins.
