Choosing One Player from the main menu will
start a One Player game. You will be asked to choose a difficulty.
- Beginner - Very easy to complete, good for first time players
- Easy - Slightly more of a challenge (though not much more)
- Medium - Challenging
- Hard - Very challenging
After choosing your difficulty, the game will start. Your board
appears on the left of the screen, and the computer player's will
appear on the right. The object of the game is to fill the computer
player's board with marbles to stop it from being able to move.
To do this, you need to make groups of three or more marble of the
same colour on the middle row. As you do this, extra marbles will
appear on the other player's board. Use your left and right keys to
move the cursor to the row you want, and up and down keys to slide
the rows up and down. You can only slide a row which has space, so as the
rows fill with marbles you will find it more and more difficult to
find moves which you can do. You can also rotate the middle row with
the <CONTROL> key. This is usefull to move Marbles from one row to another,
and essential for your success!
You can score big points if you make more
than one group of marbles in a single move.
That is, when you make a group, the marbles above the group
fall down and create a group straight away.
The other way of beating your opponent is by making a combo.
This is done by making groups of marbles in the colour of the
combo marble shown to the left of your board. Underneith the marble
is the combo's value. By making groups in that colour, the combo
value is increased. A group of three increases it by one, and a
group of four increases it by two. Then, make a group of five
marbles in any colour to unleish the combo on your opponent. They
will have to cope with marbles three times the combos value.
The scoring is as follows
Action | Opponent gets |
Group of three marbles | 1 marble |
Group of four marbles | 2 marbles |
Group of four marbles in the combo colour | 4 marbles |
Multiple groups in one move | 9 for each additional group |
Group of five marbles | 3 X combo value |
