Player guide & controls
A reference for the Windows playtest of Mayo Puzzle. Controls apply to the game build, not to a browser game.

| B | Choose a row blast |
| Escape | Pause and open help |
Understand the core loop
1. Tap a connected group
Two or more neighboring pieces clear together. Number labels help you find matches without relying on color.
2. Build a bigger blast
Large groups charge a row blast faster. Spend the charge to clear a stubborn row without using a move.
3. Bring the festival home
Work through fifteen stages, collect stars, and upgrade your starting moves and blast charge.
Plan your next attempt
Look for connected groups before spending a move. Larger groups charge the row blast faster, so compare a quick clear with the charge it leaves for the next board state. Use the number labels when pieces look similar.
When something goes wrong
Pause with Escape and check the help in your build. For a repeatable problem, note the build version, the stage or chapter, the input device and the steps that led to it. Send those details through support and feedback.
Windows playtesting is ongoing. Controller and other device support should be checked against the specific build; a listed binding does not establish hardware compatibility. See current development information.
