The main arenas of the game, how they work, intersect, and effect each other

Puzzles & Survival, at its basics, is a war game in which you fight zombies as well as other players. There are two main ways this is done:

Match-3

The first aspect of that game that is introduced to us when we very first start playing the game is the "puzzle" part of the game. Each puzzle is made up of a grid (7 columns and 5 rows) of colored tiles. There are 5 colors -- red, green, blue, yellow, and purple -- and your goal is to move the tiles so that you can make matches of at least 3 of the same color. If you can make a match of 4 or more, there are special bonuses. Those tiles then leave the grid, move toward the enemy pictured at the top of the screen, hitting the enemy and causing damage.

In association with each color of tile, are Heroes. Heroes also come in the same 5 colors as the tiles, and the tiles get their strength (i.e. attack stats) from the heroes you choose to take into battle with you.
