It is a tile-matching puzzle where the player must tap sets of neighboring, identical tiles to clear them from the playfield. The player progresses through a series of levels and on each level, there's a "goal" which must be met within a limited number of moves or within a time limit. The goal usually requires clearing a specific number of tiles of given colors. Some levels also feature special obstacles to remove, or objects which must be brought from the top to the bottom of the screen. After finishing a level, the player is graded on a three-star system, and awarded the in-game currency "bits".

Failing to complete the level goal within the allotted limit makes the player lose a life. Lives regenerate on their own over time, and can be bought with in-app purchases.

Power-ups can be acquired through clearing a large number of tiles at once. These include Lightning Jars which remove all tiles in a straight line, Exploding Cauldrons which remove eight surrounding tiles, or Parasprite Swarms which remove all tiles of a given color on the screen. If multiple power-ups are adjacent to each other when activated, they combine for a more powerful effect; for example, the Lightning Jar/Parasprite Swarm combo converts all tiles of a given color into Jars.

After specific levels, the player can unlock power-ups corresponding to the six main characters by clearing tiles in a color corresponding to that character. For example, Fluttershy's Critter Charge removes all tiles in a horizontal line.
