The objective of this game is to remove all tiles with as few moves 
as possible.


Requirements
------------

Minimum: Any TOS or TOS compatible OS and a resolution of 640x400 or 
more.

Better: 16+ colours and an AES that handles colour icons (TOS 4, 
XaAES, N.AES, MyAES, MultiTOS, MagiC, EmuTOS).

Recommended: STiK, STiNG or MiNTnet+Gluestik internet access.


Instructions
------------

Remove all tiles in as few moves as possible. Click on a tile to 
remove it, this will also remove all neighbouring tiles of the same 
type. Any tiles above the removed tiles will fall down and fill the 
gaps.

You can restart the level at any time by pressing the "Replay" 
button.

There's two types of games:

	Random - this will create a random, local level every time you 
	select it. You can replay the level as many times as you want, the 
	hiscore will be kept until you select "Random" again.

	Today's - a new level is created every day. If you have online 
	play enabled and internet access with STiK, STiNG or 
	MiNTnet+Gluestik the level will not be generated on your machine 
	but fetched - together with today's hiscores - from my web-server.

If XBIOS sound is available it will attempt to play sound effects. 
This has only been tested on a Falcon so far, please let me know if 
it works with other configurations.


Menu

Hi-scores - shows the top ten hiscores of today when online playing

and every time you finish a level in online-mode.
