SQUARK GAME DIRECTIONS
v1.2
by Soleau Software, Inc.
Copyright 1996-1997
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the game is to capture all the squares on the
game board by rolling the Red marble past all fours sides of each
square, while avoiding the pursuing Green marbles.
GAME PLAY
To begin a new game, click on the 'New Game' button or press the
letter < N > on your keyboard. A new game board will appear on
the screen with your Red marble in the upper left hand corner
and the Green marbles in the lower right hand corner.
Press any key to start the game play. Use your < Arrow Keys >
to select the direction you want the Red marble to travel. You
do not need to keep the arrow key pressed down when selecting a
direction. Just press the arrow key once and the red marble
will move in that direction when it is possible to do so.
The direction of the marble will not change until it has reached
the corner of a square. Therefore, you cannot reverse direction
until the Red marble reaches the other corner of the square.
Every time you travel the side of a square, a red triangle will
appear inside the square indicating the side you have completed.
Every 30 seconds, a new green marble can appear on the game board.
The maximum number of green marbles that can appear on the game
board at one time is four.
YELLOW DOTS
At the beginning of each level there will be one or two yellow
dots placed randomly onto the game board. When the Red marble
rolls over these dots, the Green marbles will turn White and can
be captured by the Red Marble. You will only have 10 seconds to
capture the White marbles before they turn back to Green.
Captured White marbles will be removed from the board and extra
bonus points will be earned for each White marble captured.
When 10 seconds has expired, the captured marbles will re-appear
from the lower right hand corner of the game board.
YELLOW BONUS SQUARE
One of the squares on the game board will have a flashing yellow
square around it. If you can capture this square first before
any other squares, 100 extra bonus points will be added to
your score.
BONUS DOTS
During each round of play there can be special Bonus Dots that
appear for a brief time on the game board. If you can get the
Red marble to roll over them, 70 extra bonus points will be
added to your score.
EXTRA RED MARBLE
You always start a new game with 3 Red marbles. Every time you
attain 3000 points you will be awarded an extra Red marble.
LEVELS & SPEED
The Green marbles will move at half the speed of the Red marble
on the beginning levels, then increase in speed as the levels
get higher. Also, the number of Green marbles released at the
beginning of each level will increase on the higher levels.
TIME BONUS POINTS
If you can complete the level in under 3 minutes you will get
special Time Bonus Points added to your score. You get 3 extra
points for every second under the 3 minute time limit. If you
took longer then 3 minutes to complete the level these bonus
points will be subtracted from your score.
GAME OVER
The game will be over when your last Red marble is captured by
a Green marble. If your score qualifies as a Top Ten High Score,
then you will be asked to enter your initials onto the Squark
Scoreboard.
