3. Game types

^

Game type 1: Singleplayer classic The objective of this game type is to get as much as possible points. You get points if a complete row is filled with stones. This row is removed after this. The basic point value depends on the amount of simultany removed rows: 1 row: 10 points 2 rows: 50 points 3 rows: 100 points 4 rows: 200 points This basic point value is multiplied with the multiplier. The level increments after each game minute. The game speed depends on the level. After each third level change the multiplier is increased. The advance describes how much procent of your personal highscore are reached. Game type 2: Singleplayer job mode This game type is very similar to classic game type. But now the multiplier is not automatically increased, but only if all jobs are completed. The jobs to complete are shown to the left. 3 - remove 3 rows at one time 4 - remove 4 rows at one time 2x - remove at least one row with 2 sequent stones 3x - remove at least one row with 3 sequent stones If all jobs are completed, the multiplier is increased to the next prime number. Game type 3: Multiplayer Human-Human In contrast to the singleplayer game type, here are no points but victories. You are victorious if the other one looses, this is if there is no place for his next stone. To accelerate the progress, if more than 1 row is removed with one stone, than these rows are put under the stones of the other player. Game type 4: Multiplayer Human-Computer Exactly like the game type Human-Human here is everything about victories. The difference is that the opponent is the computer. The level of the computer will be adjusted. If the computer looses his level will increase, if he wins his level is decreased.
