ALIGN IT GAME

The Classic Game

• Align 5 or more squares of the same color to finish a line, which disappears and rewards you points equal to the number of squares in the line.
• A "wildcard" square can be used to finish any line that:
  • Is of one color, or
  • Already has the "wildcard" square in it.
• For example:
  • If there are two 4-square lines in one row and a "wildcard" square is placed to finish both lines, both lines disappear. This is the only situation where more than one color disappears.
• After a move is made, 3 random color squares spawn in random places on the grid.
  • A random color square can finish a line.
  • When a line is finished, no random squares spawn until the next move.
• The game finishes when the 9x9 grid is full and no moves can be made.
• If the current score is higher than the biggest saved score, it gets saved as the top score upon:
  • Game save.
  • Game over.
  • Switching game modes.
• The score does not save upon:
  • Game restart.
  • Shutting down the game improperly.

The Bomber Mode

• This mode uses fewer colors than the classic mode.
• A bomb button unlocks when a certain score is reached.
  • If the bomb button remains unused, the number of bomb uses stacks.
• The wildcard square is not available in bomber mode.
• Bomber mode has a separate score tracker.
