INTRODUCTION
Floatris is a fun and challenging game of skill. Starting out with the basic
elements of many existing falling block style games, Floatris was developed
with the addition of many unique features. The shapes in Floatris rise from
the bottom of the screen to the top in eight air shafts. Your mission, should
you choose to accept it, is to manage the shapes as they float up the shafts
at random. As you pass the end of the first level, you will notice that more
than one shape can be floating in any given shaft simultaneously. In fact
as the game progresses, you will find that all eight shafts can have a shape
active at the same time. To make things even more of a challenge, Two new
shapes are introduced at the beginning of each level of the game (registered
version only). Another exciting feature of Floatris called "shape morphing"
is the ability to transform shapes during game play (registered version only).
This can take up valuable time however, as there will be other shapes in play
that need your attention. Other enhancements to the registered version of
Floatris include; Helium Bombs that can be sent up any shaft to blow up all
the shapes, and SoundBlaster compatible sound support including background
music and sound effects.
