ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. How to play ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The game is very simple:
Just make a line of at least three equal blocks. To reach this goal you can
move the top row to the left and the right. After you selected the position
that you want,drop the top row down. Have a look to the keys that you can use
during the game.
To complete a level and stage you need to complete a given number of different
types of connected blocks.
The first number is the number of remaining vertical blocks, the second number
is the number of remaining horizontal blocks and the third number is the number
of remaining diagonal blocks. Diagonal blocks are counted to the right and left
side.
You have to complete a level and stage in the given time.
Depending on the length of the completed line you get the points:
3 Blocks: 30 points
4 Blocks: 50 points
5 Blocks: 100 points
6 Blocks: 200 points
Each remaining second gives you 25 points.
You lose the game if the time is over or if no more blocks can be dropped.
