This is an old version of the game. A newer (and more challenging) version can be found on a apple app store for iphone and ipad where it can be found under the title "Block Dropper". In time I plan to update this veriosn to match but I'm afraid I haven't done so yet.
Instructions:
- The
Left andRight Arrow Keys (orA andD ) will move the currently falling block left or right respectively. - The
Down Arrow Key (orS ) will cause the current block to fall the rest of the way down immediately. - Pressing the
Escape Key at any time will pause the game. - Connect four or more blocks of the same color in any shape to remove them and gain points.
- You get one point per block removed.
- Connecting more than four blocks will cause the region around the last block to be removed as well and give you extra points.
- Connecting ten or more blocks will give the normal extra points and clear the screen.
- Clearing the screen will decrease the speed at which the blocks fall.
- Every five matches that you make will increase the speed at which the blocks fall.
- You lose when the blocks reach the top.
