Unlike other games you don't shoot people, play mini-games, or race, all you get to do is clear blocks. Sounds Borin? Well it's kinda is because that's alll your doing in the game. I bet you're probally thinking but if it isn't that long, then why did I bother writing a FAQ about it. Simply to explain the game better and give more strategy for some of you that might need help on it. The only sad thing about the game is that each level is changed with different kinds of blocks so I can't write a walkthrough on it >_< In this FAQ you'll learn all of the basic informations likes: the blocks, controls, and then I'll get to the good stuff like strategy to beat a certain level, ect. Thanks for checking out one of my FAQs and hope it helps :) ****************** Controls ****************** Control Pad : Move, Select Options A Button : Confirm Move B Button: Confirm Move Start : Pause/Open Menu Select : N/A ****************** In Game Option ****************** Player Select --------------- As the game first begin you'll see 2 option, 1 Player and 2 Players. If you have a friend or relative to play with you, why not select 2 players to test your skill? But if you want to challenge yourself select 1 Player and get ready for some strategy! Pause ------- During the gameplay press pause and the game will stop. Press Start again and the game will continue. So much for the in game options, I told you this game will be small. ****************** Blocks Guide ****************** There are a numerous ammount of different kind of blocks in the game. You need to know then all by heart before you can start gettting the game. Here's all of them: S Block Description: These boxes you'll see a little "S" on it. Effects: The best block you can only use 4 of these in a game. These great blocks will clear any block out, no matter what. _ _| |_ |_____| Block Description: since I couldn't explain the shape of the block, I'll draw it instead. These blocks you see that kind of symbol on them. (look above) Effects: A Regular Block, can only clear blocks with the same symbol. _ |_| Block Description: A block with a square in the middle. Effects: A Regular Block, can only clear blocks with the same symbol. X Block Description: A Block with an X in the middle. Effects: A Regular Block, can only clear blocks with the same symbol. Circle Block Description: A Block with a little circle in the middle. Effects: A Regular Block, can only clear blocks with the same symbol. Now that you learned all of the blocks, I'll explain the gameplay. ****************** How To Play ****************** The Point of the game is to clear as much blocks as you can. Inorder to move on to the next round you need to reach a certain ammount of points. Here's some basic information on how to play: Step 1 : In every round you start out with the S Block. You can use that block to clear any different block in the pile as you want. Step 2 : As you clear a block in the pile the blocks behind it will be your next block. To put it simply you use a blck you get the block behind it. Step 3 : Now that you got a new block you have to use the symbol on it to match the other blocks with the same symbols. Don't try to get the blocks in the middle, you can only get blocks that are outside. Stuck : At some point of the game you will shoot a block and get a block return with no other block with the same symbol. If you can't match any other block with the same symbol, you have to use a life. You got 3 lives and every life you use they'll give you a S Block to start over. Time Limit : There is a time limit in every level. If you don't clear the round before the time limit is out you lose and will be force to start over! So hurry, hurry, hurry!!! Clearing Rounds : Inorder for you to clear a round you have to reach a minimum ammount points and have to get below the time limit. As you move on to the next round. Each round as you replay it will have different blocks each time so don't expect use the same strategy. ****************** FAQ ****************** What is "FAQ"? Frequently Asked Questions.
