The once bustling near-shore aquarium is now deserted, its waters murky and its corals faded to gray. You are the deep-sea savior, using the power of the ocean to awaken each exhibit. 1. Swap adjacent marine pieces for a triple kill, unleashing a burst of water droplets and bubbles. 2. A quadruple kill creates a wave, L/T-shaped bubbles burst, and a quintuple kill clears the entire board of the same color. 3.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.
