- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- How high can you build? TOWERS is similar to Tetris, since you need to
- place blocks of varying size. That's where the similarity ends -- you
- need logic and planning, rather than quick reflexes in TOWERS. You
- build one level of the tower at a time, trying to fit the blocks in the
- tightest pattern. Each level becomes the base for the next level.
- TOWERS uses Cascoly's unique 3-D perspective graphics to show fantastic
- detail. As you scroll from side to side, the perspective changes.
