Notes
- Most first-time players might register the objectives as turn-based rather than based on how many matches are made.
- All levels will indicate gems cleared by how much the tube is filled and how many matches were made on the display, whereas the eclipse is the opposite.
- Newly spawned gems will not cascade due to the nocascades parameter being present in all levels.
- Maximizing the amount of gems in a match is ideal for the challenge.
Trivia
- The planet that represents Frugal resembles the planet Mars, albeit earthlike.
- During development of the Challenge Pack, one of the levels in Strategy was the inspiration for Frugal and was moved to this challenge.
- Depending on the strategy used, more than 1,000 gems can be cleared during the eclipse and can take longer than 45 minutes.[1]
