About Epic Blast
Zeus, god of sky and storms, must protect Olympus. Recover the objects favoured by the gods: wine glasses, coins, amphora, helmets, and above all, the majestic Greek temples. Are you ready to write your epic in the magical world of the gods? You'll need all your bravery to clear all 25 levels, and save Olympus! But fear not! You won't be alone! With the power of Zeus' lightning bolt, you can match symbols instantly to group the elements and make them disappear. You'll be given the strength and speed, the strategy is yours to provide!
