the runes
Simple but addicting puzzler by Dronharn: the runes. Match 3 or more runes, move with left and right key, rotate with up and drop with down key.
What to do? Move with the piece on top with the left and right cursor keys, you can rotate it with the up key if you want, and then drop it with the down key. When three or more of the same numbers touch, they disappear for a higher number. Make the highest number disappear and you get a higher piece in the left column, I believe there are 20 to collect. The piece at the very bottom shows the next piece. Clear? No? :)
You get 1 point for every "1" tile in the grid, 3 points for every "2", 9 points for every "3", 27 points for every "4", etc.
The all-time high score is 118,053,577. That means that nobody has ever made it to level 18 (a single "18" would be worth 129,140,163 points by itself.)
CAN NOT STOP PLAYING

Thanks I love this game but could not figure out how it was scored, and it was driving me nuts.

ReplyDeletehas died.
eight years playing...
And it should be back now. I'm in the process of moving everything to https, so some things might be broken but I'm working on it!
ReplyDeleteAnd it died again....
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, flash player is no longer supported. Is there any HTML5 alternative available for this excellent game?
ReplyDeleteAny chance to get it back?
DeleteBart, please help to get it alive again!!!
