| How To Play | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The basic game involves placing like colors of crayons together,
eliminating them from the board.
The game ends when the crayons pile off the bottom of the screen. Causing you, or your opponent, to lose. Crayons will keep coming off the top periodically, or when your opponent causes many crayons to react in a single chain. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Reactions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Four or more adjacent crayons of the same color will spontaneously react and disappear, clearing
them from your screen and earning you points. This is good because more
crayons will keep appearing off the top, threatening to bury you.
When colored crayons react, they also 'splash' the neighboring crayons, possibly altering their color. We use the Grade School model for color mixing - The basic uncolored crayon is White. Red, Blue, and Yellow are the primary colors. They mix to to form Purple, Orange, and Green. Mix them all together, and you get Black , the color of despair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chains | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Coaxing multiple groups of crayons into cascading their destruction is
called 'chaining' and will bring many points, give you more powerups,
send more pieces to your opponent, and delay your own demise.
To create long chains, you will need to plan ahead, combine the use of several powerups, move quickly, and / or get really lucky! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Mighty PowerUp | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Five or more crayons of the same color in the same chain will earn a powerup.
Each color has a different power, except Black,
the color of despair. These powerups will do things like help you create longer chains,
score more points, or, if you are playing 2 player, attack your opponenet!
In SinglePlayer modes, all powerups are triggered immediately when you earn them. You WILL need to use the powerup button to make good of the Laser powerup. In Versus mode, some powerups ( Red, Blue, and Yellow) will be saved until you use the powerup button to trigger them! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Controls | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can play with either a joystick or a keyboard.
These default settings might not be to your liking - for instance, your joystick might only have 2 buttons. That's okay - we wrote the Controls Option menu just for people like you! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Play Modes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
If you pay close attention, you will notice several different play modes from
the main menu:
Practice In this mode, things stay nice and slow. Once you get the hang of how the game works, this shouldn't be much of a challenge. It can be quite mesmerising, however. Survival In Survival mode, it's a race against the clock! The influx of pieces will increase until you can handle it no more! Bonus points for long chains! 2p Versus This is a fine way to decide who gets the last slice of pizza. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
