- Section 1 - Introduction
-
-
- Thank you for getting Infinitris!
-
- Infinitris was made to integrate 256 color graphics, a multitude
- of options and features, elegance and style, and a smooth
- play - all into one program.
-
- The result was a 256 color game with over 30 challenging shapes to
- choose from, a resizeable field, rotating view angle, bombs, bouncing
- pieces, and the ability to record a game and play it back later.
- This, and of course all of the standard tetris features.
-
- For first time players :
- Tetris is a game where you have to manipulate (move,rotate) shapes
- consisting of blocks and build rows out of them. When you fill a
- full (from one edge to the other of the playing field) horizontal row
- that row gets cleared and all the rows above it drop down one place.
- If the rows reach the top of the screen the game is over. The goal is
- to clear as many rows as possible before the game ends.
-
- This game took alot of time and effort to complete, so please register
- your copy of Infinitris. It's only $15 and you will get a lot of cool
- features when you register.
-
- Enjoy your play!
