Columns

About

Columns is a tile-matching puzzle game where you guide falling gems into a grid. As each color drops into place you look for three or more in a row to clear them. The challenge grows as the pace quickens and the grid fills. It plays like a faster-paced version of Tetris with a focus on color and pattern recognition. The single player mode tests your speed and strategy while co-op and split-screen let you compete or collaborate in real time. A 1990s classic now available on modern platforms like PC Mac and consoles Columns has stood the test of time thanks to its simple addictive formula. With over 10 million units sold across decades it remains a staple for puzzle fans. The game's split-screen mode and quick-play sessions make it ideal for short bursts or longer sessions. Though its pixelated graphics feel dated the core mechanics still feel sharp and responsive.
