Very long load time. I kept running into a bug that would keep me from being able to drop a number. Feels like a bad port. Horrible game. Very long load time.

Once you get the power tile you can swipe it down onto a column, doing so will result in it destroying the tile it lands on and then dropping into its place. Alternatively you can drop the power tile normally and save it for your next turn. Handy to use for numbers that are in the way. You can get more points by destroying octagon tiles. These tiles come up in the queue every so often. Destroy one and a star will float up to the top left and last there for about 15 seconds. Destroy another octagon and and the timer is reset and another star floats to the top. When the time runs out or you end the round these stars will be collected. The more stars you have the greater the bonus points. Update for the global high scores will be submitted within the next few days.

A thing bears a resemblance to another thing, it does not 'bare' a resemblance. The resemblance is not revealed or uncovered, it is carried, conveyed, or featured. Thus the resemblance is born, not bared; the game bears a resemblance to drop7, it does not bare it. Ob. grammar fact: "bares" is incorrect.
