- INTRODUCTION
-
- Floatris is a fun and challenging game of skill. Starting out with the basic
- elements of many existing falling block style games, Floatris was developed
- with the addition of many unique features. The shapes in Floatris rise from
- the bottom of the screen to the top in eight air shafts. Your mission, should
- you choose to accept it, is to manage the shapes as they float up the shafts
- at random. As you pass the end of the first level, you will notice that more
- than one shape can be floating in any given shaft simultaneously. In fact
- as the game progresses, you will find that all eight shafts can have a shape
- active at the same time. To make things even more of a challenge, Two new
- shapes are introduced at the beginning of each level of the game (registered
- version only). Another exciting feature of Floatris called "shape morphing"
- is the ability to transform shapes during game play (registered version only).
- This can take up valuable time however, as there will be other shapes in play
- that need your attention. Other enhancements to the registered version of
- Floatris include; Helium Bombs that can be sent up any shaft to blow up all
- the shapes, and SoundBlaster compatible sound support including background
- music and sound effects.
