- Going up Levels
- -----------------
-
- From the start of the game, you need to complete 10 x
- current level rows to progress to the next level.
-
- i.e. Level 1 - 0 Rows
- Level 2 - 10 Rows
- Level 3 - 30 Rows
- Level 4 - 60 Rows
- Level 5 - 100 Rows
- Level 6 - 150 Rows etc...
-
-
- Scoring
- ---------
-
- You are awarded bonus points for dropping a piece down. The
- further it goes down, the more points you get.
-
- Completing Rows:- 1 Row = 10 * Level Number
- 2 Rows = 20 * Level Number
- 3 Rows = 40 * Level Number
- 4 Rows = 100 * Level Number
-
- You are awarded 5 points per Piece x Level Number for each
- piece you lay down.
-
-
-
- Two player modes
- ------------------
-
-
- These modes are not applicable to non-registered users!
-
-
- COMBAT MODE:
-
- In this mode the aim is to force the other person to reach
- the top before you do.
-
- All normal rules are the same, except when you get a row on
- your side, another row appears on the other players side, but
- bits are missing. The effect is the other persons rows are pushed
- up, by the number of rows you just completed.
-
-
- SIMULTANEOUS MODE:
-
- The aim in this mode is to team up with another person and
- conquer the massive play area together (the area is too big to do
- by 1 person). All normal game rules apply, but if either player
- goes up a level, the whole screen clears.
-
-
- SPLIT GAME:
-
- Same as normal game, except that two people can play at
- once.
