- How To Play Tiles
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 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.
-
- Have Fun !!!.
