How to Play:

(1) Rows of dice slowly drop down the 
    screen. If they reach the bottom,
    then the game ends.

(2) Shoot the descending dice with
    dice of the same number & colour
    to destroy them. If you make a 
    mistake and the dice don't match,
    then a random dice will appear
    on the screen.

(3) If you shoot 4 of the same type 
    of dice in a row, then you score 
    a 'line'. Each time you score a 
    line, the dice will retreat one 
    row. Score further lines to stop
    the dice reaching the bottom of 
    the screen (and hence ending the
    game).

(5) Hitting 5 of the same type in a
    row is worth 2 lines. Hitting 6
    in a row is worth 3 lines.
    
(6) The best method to score points 
    and make lines is by shooting a
    'straight'; this is achieved by
    shoting a 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 in that
    order. This is worth 3 lines.

(7) You are given instructions on how
    to complete each round at the start
    of the screen. (e.g. make a given
    amount of lines, shoot so many of
    each colour etc.)

(8) Score as follows:
    Shooting a dice  : 5 x dice value
    4 in a row             : 50  pts, 1 line
    5 in a row             : 100 pts, 2 lines
    6 in a row             : 150 pts, 3 lines
    Making a straight: 250 pts, 5 lines

(9) Beware... The speed will gradually
    increase!!

    Up/Down    : Change the value of
                         the dice being held
