- A1 Collex v1.0 Copyright 1997 - Puzzle game 1997-06-11
- Shareware version
-
- Introduction:
-
- A1 Collex is a challenging Action Puzzle game. It runs under
- Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. A1 Collex is in the same class of
- game as Tetris, Breakthru, Soko Ball and Kye. This is a new
- idea for a puzzle game with game play as or if not more
- interesting compared with the games mentioned above.
-
-
- Overview:
-
- The object of the game is for Your box, the large green
- circular box, to collect all the Number boxes, in ascending
- order and all the Star boxes, from the game board. You may
- collect Star boxes in between collecting Number boxes. The
- Star boxes and Number boxes may only be collected by Your
- box if they are in the Yellow Region. The up, down, left
- and right arrow keys move Your box around the game board.
- When you hit an arrow key all boxes move one space in the
- direction of the arrow. Boxes in contact with the Blue wall
- don't move. Also some boxes stop at the boundary of certain
- regions if they can't go into the region. More on regions
- later. There is a time limit to collect all the Number and
- Star boxes to win the game. The score that you get from the
- game is based on the time remaining on the Time Limit when you
- completed the game.
-
-
- Types of Boxes:
-
- The remaining different types of boxes in A1 Collex are:
- the Free Floating box, the Time box , the Move box, the Hot
- box, the Freeze box and the Exception box.
-
- 1. The Free Floating box is an obstruction and cannot be
- collected.
-
- 2. The Time box can be collected by Your box if the Time
- box is in the Yellow region. It adds more time to "Time
- Limit", the "Number Box Time Limit" and the "Star Box Time
- Limit" on the Scoreboard.
-
- 3. The Move box can be collected by Your box if the Move
- box is in the Yellow region. It adds more moves to the
- "Move Limit" on the Scoreboard.
-
- 4. The Hot box can be collected by Your box if the Hot box
- is in the Yellow or White region. It takes away a life from
- the "Lives" on the Scoreboard.
-
- 5. The Freeze box can be pushed against to activate it by
- Your box if the Freeze box is in the Yellow or White region. It
- freezes all the boxes on the game board so they do not move.
-
- 6. The Exception box is an obstruction and cannot be
- collected by Your box. However, it cannot occupy the Orange
- region.
-
-
- Types of Regions:
-
- 1. Yellow region: All boxes can occupy this region.
- 2. White region: All boxes can occupy this region.
- 3. Green region: Only Your box and Exception box can
- occupy this region.
- 4. Orange region: All boxes except Your box and the Exception
- box can occupy this region.
