A simple puzzle game of many colors.

Challenge yourself in a circular grid using circular pattern recognition as rings of colored pieces push their way up from the doughnut-hole-like center. Think that sounds easy? Read on. Or just go try it now!

Spectral is a simple yet unique color combining game. It is setup in a circular grid. Each piece in the grid is colored as one of 6 colors of the rainbow. These pieces like to stay to the center as much as they can and will fall back to the center when there is an empty space beneath, but unfortunately, as time passes, more colored pieces will keep pushing their way up from the center. Once any single piece is pushed through the outer rim of the grid, thats it. Game Over.

There are 3 main obstacles that will stand in the way of your goal to clear pieces from the grid.
1. The so called "Rainbow Rings" will certainly be the biggest. These special rings inside the grid will split any pieces that pass through them into two pieces. Not only that, they will keep those pieces from falling back to the center, even after you clear space below them.
2. The "Black Block" is a bothersome obstacle. It is screwed in to the grid tight, and it cant be removed until everything above it has been cleared.
3. The third obstacle worth mentioning is, well, yourself. Identification of valid color combinations is the key in this game. You can make simple solid-color combinations, but to grab the most points, and clear pieces from the grid the fastest, youll need to be able to identify or create patterns in the exact order of the rainbow. These patterns can be created very simply by swapping any two adjacent pieces in the grid. Once you have 3 or more pieces arranged (in any shape) in the order of the rainbow - backwards or forwards - you will be able to remove them by tapping and dragging your finger along the pattern.
