ROY - a block puzzle game

--
STORY

ROY is a block puzzle game where you have to match three or more of 
each colour to make the blocks disappear. This can be done in 
horizontal or vertical lines. If you take too much time, the blocks 
will fall down the screen a row at a time. Keep going for as long 
as you can, if the blocks reach the bottom it's game over!

You may notice that sometimes the coloured blocks have the letter 
corresponding to their colour written on them: ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, 
Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet). This happens when they are in 
their correct column. If you complete a row with every block in 
their correct position you get the special ROY bonus, where every 
tile from that row downwards is removed - great stuff!

Black blocks cannot be matched with each other, but can be destroyed
by white blocks. Very handy.

The cursor shows your current block and the next block.
Use this to your advantage!

GAME MODES

Endless
This is the most straight forward mode of play. Just keep matching 
blocks for as long as possible. Take into account black and white 
blocks and try for ROY bonuses! If you don't fire a block for a few 
seconds then a new line will appear on the screen and push the other 
lines down and the length of time you get to make a move is made 
shorter - so act quickly!

Stage
This is where you try to complete all 15 levels as fast as possible.
Each level contains more blocks, and after level 8 black blocks are 
introduced in increasing numbers.
