DIAGGLE DIRECTIONS

OBJECTIVE

Diaggle is similar to the classic game of Tetris.  However, in
Diaggle the multi-colored triangles you place are falling down
on diagonals; bouncing off the side walls and other placed
triangles.  You must try to control the placement of the
falling triangles into a yellow pyramid grid at the bottom of
the game board.  This is easier said than done, because you
must correctly place the triangles by color and shape order
to achieve a "DIAGGLE".  

Diaggles are what you need to keep playing for the Top
Ten High Scores.  Just fill any of the eight diagonals starting
from the bottom row with the same color of triangles and you
will have achieved a diaggle.  The diaggle will be eliminated
along with any other triangles above it.  Now just keep scoring
points by creating as many diaggles as you can before the
pyramid grid fills up.


GAME PLAY

The triangles will start to fall from the top of the game 
board.  Using your arrow keys, maneuver the triangles into 
the empty slots at the bottom of the screen.  Points are given
for every triangle placed.  Points are subtracted for every 
triangle that does not get placed onto the grid.  Every diaggle
made will earn extra bonus points. Sometimes a "Wild" blue 
triangle will appear on the game board.  This triangle can be 
used as either red or green in order to make a diaggle.

The game will be over when there is no chance of creating a 
diaggle in any of the eight diagonals.  If your score is in 
the Top Ten High Scores then you will be asked to enter your 
initials onto the Diaggle Scoreboard.  


POINTS

+12  Points for every triangle placed
-15  Points for triangles not placed

+100 to 400 Points for Diagonals (Diaggles) made
( +5  Points for every triangle removed when a diaggle is made )

Every 25 triangles you will receive bonus points equal to the
total of the number of triangles played.
