Poly-RC is a game with falling rows and columns. The objective is to stay in game by removing blocks. Although it looks similar to Polytris, it is a different game.
Rows or columns with 1 to 4 squares drop from top and stop when they hit the dropped blocks or bottom. The squares can be removed by arranging them sequences of 3 or more of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Poly-RC is more challenging because it has 1-4 block rows and columns, bombs, weights and radiation. Depending on your skill, you can adjust the difficulty of the game.
