The more tiles you remove, the higher your +score. + + + + +Playing the Game + +Use the Left and Right arrow +keys to move the falling tile in the relevant direction, and the +Up arrow and Return keys to rotate the +tile left and right respectively. The Shift key drops +the tile down one line, and the Down key drops the tile +all the way down - use it as a way of saving time. + +All of these shortcuts can be customized by selecting +Configure Shortcuts... from the +Settings menu. + +If two or more tiles of the same color come to rest horizontally +or vertically next to each other, they become glued. If +four or more pieces of the same color come to be glued, +they disappear, and any pieces above them fall down according to the law +of gravity ;-). If this causes four or more pieces to become +glued, then they will also disappear, and so on. + +Every time you remove 100 tiles, you advance to the next level, +where the tiles fall faster, and the game is more difficult. + +The game ends when the central column fills with tiles, and no +more can fall. + + + + +The Game Screen + + + + + + + + + &kfouleggs; in Action + + + + +A quick explanation of what each of the parts of the game screen are for... + + + +Along the left hand side, from top to bottom: + + + + +Score +Shows your current score. + + + + + +Puyos +Shows the number of removed sets of pieces. + + + + +Level +Shows the number of the level you are currently on.

The tiles fall through +the rectangle (whose properties can be changed in +>SettingsConfigure KFoulEggs... +, see ) until reaching the +bottom. The two small black rectangles under the main one are the tile's +shadow which show where it will land.
