Tiles is a tile stacking game similar to the arcade classic Klax. The object of the game is to stack 3 or more tiles of the same colour in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
The tiles fall randomy from the top of the screen and you need to catch then with the bat which is controlled with the left and right arrow keys. But watch out because the bat can only hold up to 4 tiles! before you must drop one into the score grid. Dropping is achieved by using either the space bar or the up arrow.
The speed of the tiles dropping can be speeded up by holding down the down arrow
You'll lose a life each time you miss a tile it will fall off the screen and wipe the scoring grid clean but dont worry because you start the game with 3 lives and more are awarded at later levels.
To complete a level take a look at the bar meter on the left hand side of the screen it tells you what combination of rows you need to get to complete that level. these are vertical, horizontal and diagonal. When all 3 meters are full you move up a level.
The easiest row to get is a vertical but this gets you the least points. the highest number of points goes to 5 tiles in a diagonal row.
You get bonus points by making another row whilst one is disapearing so think carefully. Also a row of 4 tiles will count as 2 lines and a row of 5 will count as 3 lines on the meter.
This is not as complicated as it sounds the best way is just to play the game and experiment.
