- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of FaceTrex is to push the various faces on the board,
- so that they are placed on top of their negative image.
-
-
- PUSHING/SLIDING FACES
-
- The Red tile with the walking man, is used to push the faces into the
- proper positions. You use your <Arrow Keys> to move the man around
- the board. When you push a face tile, it will slide in that direction
- until it either hits another face or the side of the game board. Some
- puzzles have arrows on them which will re-direct the push in the
- direction the arrow is pointing. The idea is to properly place all
- the faces onto their negative images to solve each puzzle.
-
- There are 7 different faces which can appear on the game board.
-
-
- OTHER OBJECTS
-
- On some puzzles there are Green Blocks called Moving Blocks. These
- blocks will not slide when pushed, they will simply move one grid
- in the direction they are pushed. These are very useful for
- positioning the faces onto their negative images.
-
- On many of the puzzles there are Black Grids called Holes. These are
- like walls and cannot be moved.
-
-
- PLACING FACES
-
- Once a face has been properly pushed onto its negative image, it can
- no longer be moved. It is essential that you know you will not need it
- to help in placing the remaining faces.
-

- SOLUTIONS
-
- The solutions to the first 5 of the 25 puzzles have been provided for
- you in this Shareware version of FaceTrex. You can see the solution
- by pressing the <O>ption key and selecting <Solutions> from the Option
- Menu. You can abort the solution while it is playing by pressing the
- <Esc> key. There is at least one solution for each of the 25 puzzles
- provided.
-
- SELECTING PUZZLES
-
- You can select a puzzle by pressing the <S>elect Puzzle key.
- Generally the puzzles get harder as you go along, yet you can access
- any of the 25 puzzles in any order you desire. Next to the puzzle
- number is the puzzle's status. It will say UNSOLVED until you complete
- the puzzle. When a puzzle has been solved, the word UNSOLVED will
- change to *SOLVED*. The number of times you have tried to solve each
- puzzle is shown next to the puzzle's status.
