User guide

Gameplay

The aim is to line up three or more panels in a stack to make them pop. The game is over when the stack reaches the top of the screen.

If more than three blocks are removed it is called a combo. If pieces falling down lines up it is called a chain.

WiFi

To play over Internet you need to have a wireless accesspoint supported by dswifi. You also need to have entered wifi settings in a game like Mario Kart DS.

You can connect to the official server at walkyrie.se, but you could also run your own server on a PC. You might need to open up port 13687 (UDP) in your firewall.

There are two flavours of the server. The GUI version requires .NET Framework 2.0, which can be downloaded from Microsoft and only works in Windows. The other, text-based version, can be compiled in Linux, Cygwin or msys. You need to download the source package for this, and then type the following word in the server directory:

make

To play locally you don't need an accesspoint. One player hosts and the other players join.

Controls

When playing more than 4 players use X to show the other players on the top screen.

Screenshots

Online Emulator

Can use gamepad or customise in the control settings.
