Squaretris Deluxe Edition
for PalmOS


Overall Gameplay:
Squaretris is a puzzle game where you have to drag triads of different ball types on an 8x8 grid in order to make horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of the same ball types.


Game Objective:
Depending on the game mode you choose, the objective of the game changes:
Squaretris Classic Mode: In this mode you make lines and increase your score, until no more ball triads can be placed on the grid.
Squaretris Challenge Mode: In this mode you have a time or ball triads used limit to make the best score you can (the game also ends if you can't place more triads on the grid).
Dr. Squaretris Arcade Mode: In this mode you have to clean dirty cells on the grid in order to score points and reach higher levels.
Dr. Squaretris Challenge Mode: In this mode you have to clean dirty cells in the least amount of ball triads used.

Game Options:
Each mode has some options when you start a new game:

Squaretris Classic Mode: In this mode you can select the difficulty level to three settings:
Easy: each 20 ball triads used, another ball type is likely to appear on your ball triads.
Normal: each 10 ball triads used.
Hard: each 5 ball triads used.
Insane: each ball used.
Squaretris Challenge Mode: In this mode you can set a triads used limit or a time to play limit:

Squaretris Challenge Mode: In this mode only 1 best score is saved for each combination of limits and difficulty.
Dr. Squaretris Arcade Mode: In this mode what matters in order to make it into the top 5 list is the score.
