To beat Level 1360 in Royal Match without spending boosters or in-game items, prioritize clearing the bottom-center obstacles to open tile chutes, use the double-swiping technique to resolve multiple matches simultaneously, and combine power-ups to clear multi-layered blockers before running out of moves.
Opening the Board and Match Priorities
Level 1360 features a constrained board with durable blockers that restrict tile flow. Without starting boosters like the Light Ball, Arrow, or Bomb, standard three-tile matches along the top rows waste turns without creating meaningful momentum.
Focus your first moves on the lower and central sections of the board. Clearing central barriers allows fresh tiles to drop from top generators, while low-row matches cause larger vertical cascades that passively hit surrounding obstacles.
| Priority | Board Region | Action | Strategic Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | Bottom Center | Standard 3-matches and 4-matches | Clears main chutes and triggers cascades across upper tiles |
| Medium | Middle Flanks | Rockets and Bombs | Breaches durable side blockers that restrict board width |
| Low | Upper Rows | Standard 3-matches | Fails to cause cascades; take only if lower moves are unavailable |
Avoid taking isolated three-tile matches in the upper corners unless they immediately form a Rocket or Propeller.
How to Execute Double Swiping
Double swiping is an input technique where you swipe two separate pairs of matching tiles almost simultaneously across different areas of the board. The game registers both matches in the same turn cycle before cascade animations lock the grid.
To execute a double swipe safely:
- Identify two independent matches that do not share the same rows, columns, or falling tile paths.
- Place a finger on each match zone simultaneously.
- Swipe both pairs in rapid succession before the board starts resolving the first collapse.
This technique provides two concrete advantages on Level 1360:
- Prevents disruption: Making a bottom move at the same time as a top move prevents falling tiles from shifting a planned lower match.
- Dual creation: You can create two power-ups in a single cycle before the board rearranges.
If the first match causes tiles to fall through the space occupied by your second intended match, the second swipe will fail. Keep your inputs separated horizontally or by static barriers.
High-Value Power-Up Combinations
Clearing the stage's target count within the move limit requires merging special tiles rather than detonating them individually.
- Propeller + Bomb: The Propeller carries the Bomb directly onto a priority target or high-durability obstacle, detonating a three-by-three area upon landing. This reaches isolated or guarded blockers that direct matches cannot touch.
- Light Ball + Rocket: Transforms all tiles matching the swapped color into Rockets. These fire in both horizontal and vertical directions, stripping an entire layer across the board.
- Light Ball + Light Ball: Swapping two adjacent Light Balls instantly removes one layer of every obstacle and tile across the entire screen.
- Propeller + Rocket: Turns the Propeller into a guided projectile that clears both its landing target and a full cross row and column.
Late-Stage Move Management
When your move counter drops below ten, switch from broad cascade fishing to targeted clearance:
- Check the remaining objective count to determine exact hits required on remaining blockers.
- Prioritize direct hits over board setups. Do not spend a move attempting to position a combo if a standard direct match clears the final target.
- Rely on Propellers for hard-to-reach tiles. If an obstacle sits along an isolated edge with no direct adjacent matches, craft or detonate a Propeller to target it automatically.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
