Going up Levels
-----------------
From the start of the game, you need to complete 10 x
current level rows to progress to the next level.
i.e. Level 1 - 0 Rows
Level 2 - 10 Rows
Level 3 - 30 Rows
Level 4 - 60 Rows
Level 5 - 100 Rows
Level 6 - 150 Rows etc...
Scoring
---------
You are awarded bonus points for dropping a piece down. The
further it goes down, the more points you get.
Completing Rows:- 1 Row = 10 * Level Number
2 Rows = 20 * Level Number
3 Rows = 40 * Level Number
4 Rows = 100 * Level Number
You are awarded 5 points per Piece x Level Number for each
piece you lay down.
Two player modes
------------------
These modes are not applicable to non-registered users!
COMBAT MODE:
In this mode the aim is to force the other person to reach
the top before you do.
All normal rules are the same, except when you get a row on
your side, another row appears on the other players side, but
bits are missing. The effect is the other persons rows are pushed
up, by the number of rows you just completed.
SIMULTANEOUS MODE:
The aim in this mode is to team up with another person and
conquer the massive play area together (the area is too big to do
by 1 person). All normal game rules apply, but if either player
goes up a level, the whole screen clears.
SPLIT GAME:
Same as normal game, except that two people can play at
once.
If any problems are encountered, please inform me (Michael)
on (02) 416-3045.
For details of how to register your version of Fortris
please ring MARK on (02) 816-1897.
We hope you enjoy this production
