Can you understand the rules for my puzzle game? [video, beta]


The game "DropZap World" lies somewhere between Tetris and Candy Crush Saga.

But I am worried that the rules may not be explained well enough for most people to understand.

The game is currently in beta:

So do you think the rules need to be better explained? And if so, how?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I wouldn't give players instructions, but make a super simple level for them to understand the most important rule: circles throw lasers that destroy same colored squares. Give them a few more increasingly difficult levels for that rule, then introduce another rule with a simple level. Keep increasing difficulty, show another rule and throw in the actual game.
