  • However, it only uses red and blue.
• This is the second game where the levels on the web version are not in order with the levels on the mobile version (i.e. level 1 is level 1, but then level 2 is level 16 on mobile, and level 3 is 3).
• This is the first mobile game that is downloadable on PC.
• This is the first game since Yellow to not use any thematic elements (e.g. grapes).
  • Red uses hearts, Black uses lights and retro blocks, Blue uses fish and water, Green uses trees, cacti, and the exit sign, Pink uses flamingos, and Orange uses oranges, carrots, and construction.
