- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Desk Drop is to direct the falling tiles
- so that three similar tiles are lined up in a row. When
- you can get three of the same tile pictures lined up
- horizontally on the game board, then all instances of that
- tile will be removed from the board. The tiles on top will
- fall into the spaces vacated by the tiles that were removed.
- Play continues until the board is completely filled up with
- tiles.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- When the game begins, groups of three tiles stacked vertically
- will start to drop down onto the game board. The keys used to
- manipulate these falling tiles are the A S D keys or the J K L
- keys.
-
- The A or J keys move the tiles to the left.
- The D or L keys move the tiles to the right.
- The S or K keys rotates the tiles vertically.
- The top tile goes to the middle. The middle tile goes
- to the bottom. The bottom tile rotates back to the top.
-
- Example:
- By pressing the S or K keys, the order of the tiles would
- be changed as shown below.
-
- 1 3 2 1
- 2 => 1 => 3 => 2
- 3 2 1 3
-
-
- The SPACEBAR key drops the tiles immediately into place
- without waiting for them to descend at their normal pace.
- Extra points are awarded for placing the tiles with the
- spacebar key.
-
-
- BONUS ROW CONES
-
- On the sides of the game board there are rotating red
- and white cones which indicate the bonus row. If you
- can get a match on this row, then the whole row will be
- erased. You will be awarded 50 extra points for a match
- in this row.
-
-
- SCORING / POINTS
-
- You get 6 points for each group of three tiles that drop
- onto the game board. If you place the tiles using the
- spacebar key, 5 extra points will be awarded. Bonus Points
- are scored for each match of 3, 4 or 5 similar tiles across.
