MangoCats 1.0 (c) 1999 by Mike Inman
http://mangocats.com
Designed specifically for the Palm computing platform,
MangoCats is a game that you can play for just a few
minutes, leave and return to when you have time. All
user interface is done with the stylus, no awkward
buttons to press. The game is played by tapping on the
screen to move Mangoes and Cats around, arranging them
into rows of 5.
The object of the game is to get 5 Mangoes or 5 Cats in
a row. Cats and Mangoes are moved around the screen by
tapping them, or the spaces next to them. They behave in
a somewhat predictable manner when tapped, though Mangoes
and Cats do have different "personalities."
Once you make a row with Mangoes or Cats, for the highest
score, you should try to make the next row with the other
kind. The indicator in the upper right tells what type of
row you made last, and how many times you have repeated
that type - the more repeats, the lower the score.
If you can line up both Mangoes and Cats at the same time,
that's called Mango Cats!, and doubles that score. If you
move Mangoes around, then line them up in the same place
they were last time, that's Deja Mangoes! - which has no
effect on scoring. Ditto for Deja Cats! If you keep lining
up Mangoes or Cats on the edge of the screen, they will
start to get "edgy" and jump toward the middle on their own,
without being tapped. Scoring anywhere besides the edges of
the screen will relieve their edginess.
There are meters on either side of the playing field that
tell the taps remaining for both Mangoes and Cats, Mangoes
on the left, Cats on the right. Scoring points will recharge
the meter for whoever just lined up 5 in a row, if the row
is in a different direction from the last row that was
scored. In other words, if Mangoes make a vertical row, then
the next row of Mangoes are also vertical - the second score
will not count for taps recharge. The hatch pattern of the
bars tell what type of row is needed to get a tap recharge.
Taps run out more quickly as the total score increases.
The game is over when either Mangoes or Cats are tapped out.
The sound effects volume level in Mango Cats is controlled
under Applications - Prefs - General - Game Sound. You can
leave a Mango Cats game to go to another application, then
pick up where you left off later.
