Before you start playing, you can choose which island you will be based in. Each of them brings a little extra buff to your abilities.

The islands are:

•  Folly Roger (plunders its opponents for resources)
•  Monster Mansion (improved monster attacks)
•  The Wiz (magic to create more valuable chains)
•  Hot Lava (as Hot Lava loses health its attacks grow more powerful)
•  Sly Sub (launches sneaky attacks which are hard to detect),
•  Tree Hugger – turns all reflected attacks into Perfect Hits)
•  Robot Factory (Perfect Hit attacks drain health from opponents).

You can also set other modifiers of the match yourself – power of the attacks, health recovery, etc.

When you play against, say, 2 bots and you kill one of them then the game goes into “sudden death” mode which means that your health (as well as your opponent’s) is continually drained away and you have only a short time to end the game and win. If you’re not the lucky one and you die first, the game also goes into the “sudden death” mode but you play a “death” version of the puzzle with coffins, bats, bones and skulls instead of colours.
