LIMITATIONS WITHOUT THE REGISTERED KEY
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Nothing high-score saving. (Ehmmm... I'm been too good perhaps...)
WHAT IS THIS THING?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
HIT PUZZLE is an original game think with pleasant and strange characters,
where you can deal with yourself in a high-score hunt or a friend in a
challenge to last point.
- One player mode -
In every screen, you must join at least three balls of same colour to
complete a line, you can join the balls in horizontal, vertical or
diagonal. When you have completed all the lines to do, you skip to next
level. If you exceed with a ball the danger line, the game ends. Warning,
in the long run, the sea level will raise the balls and if a ball exceeds
the danger line, the game ends. In some levels, there are Jolly balls,
that can be used to join two or more balls of same colour.
- Two player mode -
Just wins who has more points after one or three rounds. There isn't the
raise of the sea level but you have only few seconds to launch the ball.
Warning, if a player (deliberately or not) with a ball exceeds the danger
line, will lose the round/match.
- Score -
Three horizontal balls = 10 points
Three vertical balls = 50 points
Three diagonal balls = 100 points
The score doubles to each ball added. Examples: Four vertical balls are
100 points, five diagonal balls are 300 points, etc.
