Five M&M heroes - Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Orange - need to stop him.
M&M's Break' Em is mainly a reworking of Gem Smashers , an earlier game by Frame Studios Interactive .
The main story mode takes place on different locations, gradually unlocked, along with boss battles.
Keys can also unlock hidden levels, marked by a pink spot on the map.
The player controls one of the M&M's and bounces it throughout the screen.
They have different characteristics such based on speed, power and boost.
It needs to hit crystals of the same colour (pinballing vertically off objects) and special pots are used to change the colour.
When all crystals are gone, the level is completed.
Gameplay is time limited, crossing it makes a bouncing skull appear on the screen taking away lives.
Special blocks contain bonuses such as detonators, extra points, invulnerability, score multipliers and a harder M&M that cuts through all crystals.
The M&M can be moved left or right horizontally, and sped up or slowed down.
Skills slightly influence gameplay.
High power requires less hits to break hard rocks, while boost allows the character to speed up.
Only Yellow and Green can break special blocks to access bonuses.
The DS version can be controlled with the stylus and contains a multiplayer mode.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks M&M's Break' Em for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding M&M's Break' Em to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2007.
