i dont quite get the game i was watching some videos but still....

do we need to make 4 in a row or something like that ?

which are the keys for the game ?

any tips to pro ourself ?

Re: [Announce] Puzzletube on extras-devel
 

Goal: Not row, but block of four (and then every connected same colour tile are removed)
Control: arrows to move and 'A' to swap places.

Start with only couple of colours and try to figure how to make combos. Really speaking I do not know how to make good score =)

Re: [Announce] Puzzletube on extras-devel
 

it closes right when it opened...
maybe if I run via xterm?
how can I do that?
thanks, for the video seens to be a great game

its the exact same thing for me

Re: [Announce] Puzzletube on extras-devel
 

It works, but at 15~22 FPS.

And it crash sooner or later once game start. usually 3~6 breaks then all gone, beside, this game seems consume much Power than normal full-load games.

It might miss some dependency, but I can't figure what it is. Start xterm and write:

This is normal. If you want more, tune graphic settings. E.g 'Stone quality=Flat' will double the speed.

I haven't seen crashing, and yes, it is critical. Game is using 3D-graphics and plays ogg files, they use much power.

There are rumours of new version, let see...
