NAME¶
angrydd - a falling block puzzle game
SYNOPSIS¶
angrydd [
--debug ]
DESCRIPTION¶
In Angry, Drunken Dwarves, you are an angry, drunken dwarf. Why are you so
angry? Who knows. But you've decided to take your aggression out on other
dwarves, by dropping gems on their heads. Lots of gems.
You have your own supply of gems, which will slowly fall from the top of the
screen. As gems reach the bottom, they will land and sit in place. If you put
enough gems of the same color in a rectangle shape, they will merge and form a
crystal.
Less common are break gems, which are circular. When you drop a break gem on a
gem or crystal of the same color, it will destroy any gems of that color
adjacent to it. Crystals are worth much more than an equal number of regular
gems.
For more information, see the "How to Play" screen in the game.
