- Rules of the game:
-
- 1/ Main rules:
-
- The main idea of the game is very simple. You have to put
- together at least 2 crystals and click on them to make them
- disappear. The crystals left, fall and fill the gaps. The game
- ends when you can't play anymore.
-
- The goal is to make the highest score.
-
- The points scored every time you click is :
-
- SCORE = (Number_of_crystals_selected - 2)▓
-
- As you can guess, it is better to select lots of crystals
- at the same time.
-
- If you can clear all the crystals of the game area, you have
- 1000 points bonus.
-
- Last detail: you have only 10 seconds to play a go. If you are
- too slow, you loose 100 points.
-
- 2/ The bonus.
-
- As you can see, some crystals are different on the game area.
- These are the watermelons, the oranges and the water balls.
- They still represent a colour(red, yellow or blue), but they also
- have special effects:
-
- The orange: The selected score is multiplied by 2.
-
- The watermelon: Like the orange.
-
- The water ball: This creates a waterfall, which transforms all the
- crystals underneath to blue ones. Also you score 500 points for
- each crystal transformed.
-
- Also, if you score more than 1000 points at the same time, you
- start a lottery. You have to click at the right moment to get
- a good bonus. Here is the lottery list:
-
- LIGHNING: A line is eaten, which means there are less points on
- the board.
-
- BOMB: A bomb exploses in the game area, and destroys some
- crystals. Again this means there are less points on the board.
-
- PURPLE MONSTER: You lose 500 points:(
-
- CHOCOLATE CAKE: You score 500 points:)
-
- GHOST: Activates the PANIC MODE, which means you have
- only 2 seconds to play instead of 10!
-
- STRAWBERRY CAKE: You score 1000 points!
-
- PURPLE ICE-CREAM: 30 crystals are added to the board, which
- means you have got more points on the board.
-
- BLUE ICE-CREAM: You score 1000 points!
-
- 3/ Tips
-
- Don't forget the UNDO button if you have clicked on the wrong
- crystal. You activate it by clicking on the little green guy
- at the bottom right hand corner of the game window.
-
- A good strategy is to choose a colour and sacrifice the others.
- Remember it is better to click once on 20 crystals than twice
- on 10 crystals.
-
- Oh, a very useful last thing: if you play at work and your
- boss walks in during a game, you can activate the pause by
- clicking on the Crystal Bubble logo, in the top right hand
- corner of the screen.
