The third game in the Super Collapse! 3 series has the same core gameplay as previous games, but features several new modes, including for the first time, a quest mode. The following eight game modes are available:
In the Super Collapse! 3 , initially, only classic and quest modes are available. The rest can be unlocked by playing the quest mode. The classic mode works in the same way as in previous games. The player is presented with a grid that is partially filled with coloured blocks. More blocks are added to grid, one row at a time, from the bottom of the grid. The aim of the game is to remove these blocks before they reach the top of the screen.
Playing the quest mode takes the player into a strange world where he progresses from level to level. For each level that is completed, a new one becomes available. The quest mode features a store where the player can purchase different things for the money earned for completing each level. For more money, it's also possible to play different casino mini games such as slot machines.
The game modes vary in their gameplay mechanics. In the relapse mode, new blocks come in from both top and bottom. In the strategy mode, new blocks will only come in when the player clicks. In the puzzle mode, the player has to clear all blocks from the screen, with no new ones appearing. The slider mode features rows of blocks that slide left and right, changing groupings. The continuous mode is an endless variant of the classic mode, where the player must last as long as possible. Finally, in the countdown mode, the player has to score as many points as possible within two minutes.
