One special piece that this game has, that almost no other game of its kind has, is a piece that only appears if you match 7 or more pieces at a time. If you can manage to do that, you get a TNT barrel, and when a TNT barrel explodes, it takes out almost the entire screen’s worth of pieces. To match 7 or more pieces at a time, match five across in a straight line with two identical pieces right below the center tile, so in a T-shape.

Whenever you finish a level with moves left over, the moves will turn into bombs and blow themselves up automatically. You will also earn extra coins for each explosion on top of the 50 that you win just for beating the level. You earn only one star per level not matter how quickly or slowly you beat it, but the coins change depending on how soundly you beat the level.

Your social network (the fictional one in the game, not the Facebook account that you connected with) is filled with people that you have met throughout the game. Keep completing quests that the game gives you in order to consistantly add more and more people to your friends list.

If you run out of lives and you get bored looking for something to do, then go to the main screen and tap on the butler, or anywhere else on the mansion. Each time that you tap, he’ll say something funny, salty or sarcastic, and after you complete more jobs on the mansion grounds, his phrases change. Or, save all of your stars and mansion jobs for after you run out of lives.

You can change your name at any time, for any reason, and completely for free. All that you have to do is to go to the settings mode, then tap on the “Change Name” button to enter any name that you want to put. Name changes will always be free and you will always be able to do them an unlimited number of times.

Save your power-ups for really tough levels. Some levels will be easier than others, and sometimes the level balance shifts back and forth between easy and hard, so don’t use a power-up unless you know that this is a tough level that is going to have you running out of moves every time, or unless you get a chance that you can’t refuse – I.E. the next move will earn you a TNT.
