Description
Columns is loosely derived from Tetris,
as it involves arranging falling blocks in such a way as to clear them.
However, in columns they are groups of 3 same-size but varying color
blocks, which must be arranged into sequences of 3 or more, either
horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Sequences of 4 or 5 count for
double or triple points, and diagonal sequences score the most. The
real trick is to set up 'combos' - where one line causes other blocks
to drop so as to create other lines.
As well as the normal game
mode, there is also a 'flash' mode, in which the aim is simply to
remove a particular block from the base of the pre-formed pile of
bricks. The difficulty of this can be determined by increasing the
number of complete rows which are already in place.
