In this engaging puzzle game, your mission is to eradicate viruses using capsules that match their colors. The playing field is a bottle teeming with viruses in three distinct colors: red, yellow, and blue. As a player, you take control of each falling capsule, maneuvering it left or right and rotating it to align perfectly with the viruses and any pre-existing capsules. The key to success is creating alignments of four or more capsule halves or viruses of the same color, either horizontally or vertically. Once aligned, these pieces are cleared from the board. Your primary goal? Clear all viruses from the field to conquer each level. Be cautious, though; a game over is triggered if capsules stack up and block the bottle's narrow neck.
Players have the flexibility to choose their starting difficulty at the beginning of each new game, selecting from a range of zero to twenty. This choice determines the number of viruses you need to eliminate. Additionally, you can adjust the game speed from three available settings, which affects the rate at which capsules descend into the bottle. Your score is calculated based exclusively on the number of viruses you clear, not on the time spent or the capsules used. Achieving the highest difficulty level doesn't end the game; instead, it allows you to continue playing and amassing a higher score, although the virus count remains constant. Scoring is boosted when you eliminate multiple viruses simultaneously, but no extra points are awarded for chain reactions, where the removal of one group leads to the elimination of another. Remember, the faster the game speed, the higher the potential score, so choose wisely to maximize your points!
