The objective of this game is to remove all tiles with as few moves
as possible.
Requirements
Minimum: Any TOS or TOS compatible OS and a resolution of 640x400 or
more.
Better: 16+ colours and an AES that handles colour icons (TOS 4,
XaAES, N.AES, MyAES, MultiTOS, MagiC, EmuTOS). NVDI.
Recommended: STiK, STiNG or MiNTnet+GlueSTiK internet access.
Instructions
Remove all tiles in as few moves as possible. Click on a tile to
remove it, this will also remove all neighbouring tiles of the same
type. Any tiles above the removed tiles will fall down and fill the
gaps.
You can restart the level at any time by pressing the "Replay"
button.
There's two types of games:
- Random - this will create a random, local level every time you
select it. You can replay the level as many times as you want, the
hiscore will be kept until you select "Random" again.
- Today's - a new level is created every day. If you have internet
access with STiK, STiNG or MiNTnet+Gluestik the level will
not be generated on your machine but fetched - together with
today's hiscores - from my web-server.
If XBIOS sound is available it will attempt to play sound effects.
This has only been tested on a Falcon so far, please let me know if
it works with other configurations.
Menu
- About - should be obvious.
- Settings - enable/disable sound, enable/disable online playing,
enable saving of window positions. If you want to play online you
will also have to enter your name here.
- Hi-scores - shows the top ten hiscores of today when online playing
is enabled and available. The list is updated when you start the game
and every time you finish a level in online-mode.
