Game mode

 

Team: move two pieces by turn

 

     It is the classic mode and the more interesting.

 

Single: move only one piece

 

     It gives a faster and more tactical game.

It is interesting to learn pieces moves.

 

     Versus

 

         COM: Play against computer

 

         Human: 2 players mode (on one GP32)

 

     Side

 

         Play blue (first to move) or red pieces.

 

     Level

 

         From VERY EASY to HARD : higher is the level, longer the

CPU works. At the beginning, the CPU takes a long time

to move. Be patient! The game is worth it!

 

     Sound

 

         ON or OFF to hear or not piece moves. No music in game.

At each turn, the player can select one of his piece, move it

and then push other pieces if possible or first push and then

move. At each step, the program shows the possibilities:

 

 

 

Here, at the beginning, P can push S or E (button B) or move

(button A). The player can skip his turn by pressing SELECT.


 

Let’s begin the game by moving E (move the green cursor to E

and press A):

 

 

 

 

     Yellow squares show where the E can go, the dark green

cursor is the target selector.

 

 

 

 

Move P behind E and press B : an arrow appears, this this the

push direction selector. Here only one push is possible to

validate choice by pressing A or B or press SELECT to cancel.


 

Select strength with pad (up/down or left/right) :

 

 

 

     and press A or B to validate :

 

 

Red E is out! Well done! The goal is to push all opponent’s

pieces off the board. Now computer is thinking…


     And it plays:

 

 

 

Now it’s time to learn special moves. F (flexibility) can

move and push on diagonals too:

 

 

In this position F can push the red M but the blue one too:

 


and the blue S :

 

 

Select the piece you want to push with pad (left/right to go

next/previous).

 

     Piece A (agility) offers side pushes:

 

 

A can move M out of the board to left or in next position F:

 


 

Be careful to piece R: the piece pushing it, follows it:

 

 

After push :

 

 

 

     And one word to explain S moves, S can :

 

              move, push and then move

          or   move and move again.

          or   push, move and then push

          or   push first and push again.

 

 

     Now, you’re ready to play!

 


 

The end

 

 

Game ends when all pieces of one colour are out or after

to have pressed START during game…

 

 

     … the player press select.

 

     To quit the game and reset the GP32, press L+R.
