DESK DROP GAME
v1.0
Copyright 1996
Soleau Software, Inc.
Requires: 486 50mhz or better
SVGA & Mouse
Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
OBJECTIVE
The objective of Desk Drop is to direct the falling tiles
so that three similar tiles are lined up in a row. When
you can get three of the same tile pictures lined up
horizontally on the game board, then all instances of that
tile will be removed from the board. The tiles on top will
fall into the spaces vacated by the tiles that were removed.
Play continues until the board is completely filled up with
tiles.
GAME PLAY
When the game begins, groups of three tiles stacked vertically
will start to drop down onto the game board. The keys used to
manipulate these falling tiles are the A S D keys or the J K L
keys.
The A or J keys move the tiles to the left.
The D or L keys move the tiles to the right.
The S or K keys rotates the tiles vertically.
The top tile goes to the middle. The middle tile goes
to the bottom. The bottom tile rotates back to the top.
Example:
By pressing the S or K keys, the order of the tiles would
be changed as shown below.
1 3 2 1
2 => 1 => 3 => 2
3 2 1 3
The SPACEBAR key drops the tiles immediately into place
without waiting for them to descend at their normal pace.
Extra points are awarded for placing the tiles with the
spacebar key.
BONUS ROW CONES
On the sides of the game board there are rotating red
and white cones which indicate the bonus row. If you
can get a match on this row, then the whole row will be
erased. You will be awarded 50 extra points for a match
in this row.
SCORING / POINTS
You get 6 points for each group of three tiles that drop
onto the game board. If you place the tiles using the
spacebar key, 5 extra points will be awarded. Bonus Points
are scored for each match of 3, 4 or 5 similar tiles across.

When a match is made you will be given 3 extra points
for every tile that is removed from the game board.
A special rotating top will drop down every 1000 points
and will randomly remove a row of tiles.

with tiles. If your score is in the top ten scores,
