- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Robix is get your color blocks to the bottom
- of the game board by shifting entire rows either to the left or
- right. You can play Robix against the computer or a friend.
- When playing the computer, you will be assigned the Red blocks
- and the computer will always play the Blue.
-
-
- SELECTING AND PUSHING ROWS
-
- At the start of each game, the computer will randomly decide
- who will go first. Each player then takes turns pushing a row
- of blocks left or right. When a row is selected, it will be
- shifted one grid space. The rows can only be pushed a total of
- two times in either direction. If your color block is pushed
- against one side of the grid board, then it will re-appear on
- the other side after the row has shifted. When it is your turn
- to play, you will see an arrow pointing to the top row on the
- left side of the screen. Use the arrow keys to select the row
- and the direction to push in. The computer will only let you
- position the pointer icon on valid rows.
-
-
- Once you have selected a row, push the <Spacebar> to activate
- the push. If a block has the space to keep moving downwards,
- it will continue to fall until it either reaches the bottom or
- hits another block.
-
-
- SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG GAMES
-
- Robix has three types of games you can play. The Short game
- ends when the first player can get 10 of his color blocks to
- the bottom. The Medium game ends after 25 blocks, and the Long
- game is 50 blocks. In the Medium and Long games, once a block
- reaches the bottom, it will move back up to an empty space on
- the top row.
