The Game

--------

Think About It! is a game of pure logic. The action takes place on a 7x7

board, and the idea is to navigate your counter from the bottom of the

board to the top.

Also occupying the board are other counters which perform a strict and

predictable motion. If one of these lands on the same square as your piece

then your game is over.

For every turn you must tell your counter which way to move. It can only move

one square in any of four directions. It cannot move diagonally.

Every turn, the other counters perform the action that their markings

signify that they must do.

Finally, and this is where the real skill comes in, you must plan your

moves in advance.

Step-by-step.

-------------

Each level consists of a series of stages.

1. The computer pieces appear on the board. They appear in a certain order.

This is the also order in which they move.

2. Choose your starting point.

Using the stylus or buttons you can place your counter in any square

on the bottom row of the board.

You must place your piece before the timer bar at the top of the screen

runs out, otherwise the Pilot will choose a random square for you to

start on.

3. Plan your moves.

Using the buttons or stylus you must choose in advance the order of moves

that your counter will take.

The default is 4 moves in advance.

Again, there is a time limit to make your moves in. If you run out of

time, your moves are generated randomly.

4. Sit back and watch the show.

For each turn the pieces perform their actions. Your piece always moves

first.

If a computer piece lands on your piece, you die,

If a computer piece lands on another computer piece, the former will

have another move. Watch out for this, it is easy to miss this when

planning your moves

If you haven't landed on a computer piece, the action returns to stage 3

and you continue on your way to the top.

The Nasties

-----------

The first pieces that you are up against will only move one square in the

direction they are pointing.

As the levels progress, new counters are introduced. Some of these do a

similar move to a knight in chess, ie. they move 2 squares forwards, and one

to the side.

Other pieces, marked with two arrows, move 2 squares in the direction

they are facing.

Level Progression and scoring

-----------------------------

When you complete a level you get a screen describing your score.

You get a score bonus for completing a level in the fewest moves possible,

and a bonus dependant upon the level, and the skill level at which you are

playing.

Every ten levels, a new enemy piece is added to the board to further complicate

matters.

Further Options

---------------

As well as the usual selection of options, you may select :

1. Difficulty 1-10.

This describes the amount of time you have to make your selections.

1 is easy, while 10 grandmaster level.

2. Number Of Nasties 3-10

The initial number of nasties that appear on each level.

(this increases as you progress through the levels)

3. Moves Ahead. 2-8

The number of moves ahead that you feel able to perform

Obviously, the more moves ahead, the harder it is.

4. Start Level.

You may select any start level up to 50 in 5 level intervals.

(not available in unregistered version)
