INTROUCTION
|
|
***********
|
|
This is a puzzle game, much along the lines of Columns. You drop the multi-block
|
|
pieces, and make matches across, down, or diagonally. The change here is that you
|
|
can now rotate the blocks sideways, instead of just switching the colors around.
|
|
Also, you must sandwhich two or more same-colored pieces within two pieces that
|
|
are a different color.
|
|
This game was never actually finished, though. This was brought to the Internet
|
|
by a group of people dedicated to researching old games that never came out, and
|
|
why they didn't come out. All I can say is, thanks guys for the insightful articles,
|
|
and the games are nice, too.

WHAT'S DONE

Doesn't seem to be much, except the tutorial.

WHAT'S BUGGY
|
|
************
|
|
I don't believe the patch is the cause, but there'll be several glitches and
|
|
crashes due to that this game wasn't finished.

PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS

Just apply the IPS to a ROM. Use LunarIPS, select Apply IPS. Select the ROM,
|
|
select the ips file, and it should be good.

EMULATION ISSUES
|
|
****************
|
|
This game uses mapper 2 (16KB PRG switching, possibly the easiest one to
|
|
implement in an emulator). So, nearly any emulator should support it.

PLAY INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
*****************
|
|

|
|
D-Pad:
|
|
Left/Right - move pieces
|
|
Down - drop them quickly.
|
|
Select: Unused.
|
|
Start: Pause.
|
|
B Button: Rotate pieces to the left.
|
|
A Button: Rotate pieces to the right.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
In Round mode, you will need to clear a specific number of pieces to
|
|
move on to the next stage. The amount is indicated next to the PIECE indicator.
|
|
MUSIC:
|
|
Three types, or you can Shuffle them or play with no music.
|
|
PIECE:
|
|
In an endless game, you can choose the type of pieces you want to match.
|
|
BACK:
|
|
In an endless game, you can choose the background pattern.
|
|
|
|
As previously mentioned, to clear pieces from the board, you must match two
|
|
of the same colored pieces within two same colored pieces of a different color,
|
|
like two or more reds being bookended by two blues.
|
|
During the game, a few characters might show up. A big fish will shake up the screen,
|
|
dropping all pieces down to fill in the columns (wheras normally, pieces above a hole
|
|
would just stay there). The frog will flip the entire stack upside down, and then drop
|
|
the pieces down to the bottom again. The lizard will remove the entire line of the piece
|
|
underneath it when it lands.
