Alien Crush Saga reinvents the match-free game, with a more extraterrestrial setting. The board contains 5 different types of symbols (triangle, rounded or rhombic shape) that have to be arranged in lines and in columns in order to gain points. Movements can only take place horizontally and vertically and the more symbols you arrange the higher scores you achieve. Players should be able to spot the specially designed symbols (a bomb, a star or one of the 5 symbols available with a stripped pattern) that once moved in a formation of 3 or more can significantly raise the final score.
