Game Controls:

The Controls handle very well in Columns III Revenge of the Columns. You use the B Button to rotate the gems. The A or C buttons are the attack buttons, which you can use to destroy a stack of gems that is falling, and also raise the floor on the computer side as well. Of course the computer can do the same thing too, so be really careful. The gems rotate very well too.
