AURA Surge — 1v1 ranked Match-3 PvP, free ranked ladder
AURA Surge is a competitive 1v1 ranked Match-3 game within the Aura app where players win Ranking Points (RP) through fast-paced, seed-based board battles. Players race to achieve the highest score on identical 15-move boards where matches of four or more gems grant extra moves, each side gets the same two free one-shot boosters drawn from the match seed, and a live ticker shows the opponent score climbing move by move.
Why use AURA Surge
Race the same seed; match 4+ gems for extra moves, higher score wins RP.
Same pair for both players in ranked, drawn from the seed. Using one costs no move.
A ticker shows your rival score climbing in real time, bots included.
Climb the ranked ladder with no entry fee — ranked matches stake RP, never AURI.

Frequently asked questions
Is AURA Surge free to play?
Yes, AURA Surge is free to play directly within the Aura app with no download required. Ranked matches stake Ranking Points only — never AURI.
What boosters can I use in AURA Surge?
Every ranked match hands both players the same two free one-shot boosters, drawn from the match seed: colour blast, rocket, bomb, surge orb, hammer, shuffle or plus two moves. Firing one never costs a move, and firing one onto an orb already on the board fuses the two into a bigger combo: two arrows make a cross, an arrow plus a bomb sweeps three whole lines, two bombs go supernova.
Can I see my opponent score during a match?
Yes. A live ticker shows the opponent score climbing move by move while you play, streamed over the Realtime Database, and a bot opponent shows its own run progressing the same way.
What are the rules of AURA Surge?
Players compete on identical 15-move boards from the same seed, where the goal is to earn the highest score by matching gems, with matches of four or more granting extra moves and two free boosters available to each side.
Can I wager on AURA Surge matches?
No. Ranked matches stake Ranking Points only. AURI credits can never be wagered on matches.
How many AURA Surge matches can I play per day?
Ranked is capped: 3 matches a day on the free plan and 10 on Premium, counted together across bot and 1v1 games because both award RP. Free practice is unlimited for everyone, signed in or not — it stakes no RP and pays no AuraCoins, so it is what you play once the ranked allowance is gone.
Can I try AURA Surge without an account?
Yes. Guests get the free practice board: the same Match-3 engine and the same 15 moves, unlimited, played locally with nothing submitted. Ranking Points, the booster shop and 1v1 matchmaking all need a free account.
