- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of the game is to capture all the squares on the
- game board by rolling the Red marble past all fours sides of each
- square, while avoiding the pursuing Green marbles.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- To begin a new game, click on the 'New Game' button or press the
- letter < N > on your keyboard. A new game board will appear on
- the screen with your Red marble in the upper left hand corner
- and the Green marbles in the lower right hand corner.
-
- Press any key to start the game play. Use your < Arrow Keys >
- to select the direction you want the Red marble to travel. You
- do not need to keep the arrow key pressed down when selecting a
- direction. Just press the arrow key once and the red marble
- will move in that direction when it is possible to do so.
-
- The direction of the marble will not change until it has reached
- the corner of a square. Therefore, you cannot reverse direction
- until the Red marble reaches the other corner of the square.
- Every time you travel the side of a square, a red triangle will
- appear inside the square indicating the side you have completed.
-
- Every 30 seconds, a new green marble can appear on the game board.
- The maximum number of green marbles that can appear on the game
- board at one time is four.
-
-
- YELLOW DOTS
-
- At the beginning of each level there will be one or two yellow
- dots placed randomly onto the game board. When the Red marble
- rolls over these dots, the Green marbles will turn White and can
- be captured by the Red Marble. You will only have 10 seconds to
- capture the White marbles before they turn back to Green.
- Captured White marbles will be removed from the board and extra
- bonus points will be earned for each White marble captured.
- When 10 seconds has expired, the captured marbles will re-appear
- from the lower right hand corner of the game board.
-
-
- YELLOW BONUS SQUARE
-
- One of the squares on the game board will have a flashing yellow
- square around it. If you can capture this square first before
- any other squares, 100 extra bonus points will be added to
- your score.
-
-
- BONUS DOTS
-
- During each round of play there can be special Bonus Dots that
- appear for a brief time on the game board. If you can get the
- Red marble to roll over them, 70 extra bonus points will be
- added to your score.
-
-
- EXTRA RED MARBLE
-
- You always start a new game with 3 Red marbles. Every time you
- attain 3000 points you will be awarded an extra Red marble.
-
-
- LEVELS & SPEED
-
- The Green marbles will move at half the speed of the Red marble
- on the beginning levels, then increase in speed as the levels
- get higher. Also, the number of Green marbles released at the
- beginning of each level will increase on the higher levels.
-
-
- TIME BONUS POINTS
-
- If you can complete the level in under 3 minutes you will get
- special Time Bonus Points added to your score. You get 3 extra
- points for every second under the 3 minute time limit. If you
- took longer then 3 minutes to complete the level these bonus
- points will be subtracted from your score.
-
-
- GAME OVER
-
- The game will be over when your last Red marble is captured by
- a Green marble. If your score qualifies as a Top Ten High Score,
- then you will be asked to enter your initials onto the Squark
- Scoreboard.
