TURRIS INSTRUCTIONS

Why is Turris Cool?

Turris follows the laws of basic mechanics, allowing the player to perform virtually infinite varieties of "tricks", and devise ever so clever ways to cause the objects to interact.  The fundamental game play is very simple, so while the game has an infinite potential of goodies, one can start playing it with relatively good results within minutes.

Objective

The objective of Turris is to stack falling blocks as high as you can.  For each level, after dropping exactly 100 objects,  a certain score must be achieved to pass on to the next level.   Points are given for each block that is above the threshold, marked by a red horizontal line in the game.  All pieces that are above this line are worth some points, which are indicated by the number shown next to each piece.  The higher above the threshold the piece is placed, the more points it is worth.  Additionally, pieces that are placed at the center of the screen, between the two blue vertical lines are worth 10x the number of points as the pieces places on the sides.  Circles are worth 3x the score blocks are worth, and triangles are worth 2x the basic block score.  Now here is what makes this stacking game very unique.  The pieces that fall objey the laws of physics.  They bounce off eachother, roll, you name it! 

Game Play

• Once you start a game, hit any key except for the 'CONTROL' key on the keyboard to drop an object. (For example, the 'SPACE' key is a good key to use.)
• Hold down the left mouse button, and drag the mouse left or right to apply a force to the object's center of mass.  This will have the effect of shifting the objects horizontal position.  NOTE: you can keep applying force to the object even AFTER it dropped, untill you press a key and drop a new object!  Use this!
• Hold down the left mouse button while holding down the 'CONTROL' key, and drag the mouse left or right to apply a force to the object at a point slightly above the center of mass.  This will have the effect of not only moving the object horizontally, but also giving it a spin.  NOTE: you can keep applying force to the object even AFTER it dropped, untill you press a key and drop a new object! NOTE: Holding down the right mouse button without pressing the 'CONTROL' key will also invoke this function.
• When applying a force to the object, how fast you drag the mouse determines the magnitude of the force.  So the faster you move the mouse while holding down the mouse button, the more effect you'll have on the object.
• The score you need to complete the game is shown  on the top of the screen under "Asset Requirement".  The score for the level you have is shown under "Current Assets". The "Current Assets" field is the sum of all the scores of all objects above the threshold line.   "Current Assets" must match or exceed "Asset Requirement" in order for you to pass to the next level.
• You get 100 objects in each level.  Your "Asset Requirement" must be met or exceeded after all 100 objects are dropped.  For example, if at some point you have the "Asset Requirement" covered, but by the time you drop your last object your "Current Assets" score is less then your "Asset Requirement" score, your game ends.
• Scoring:
  • Each block is worth the number of pixels it is above the red threshold line. 
  • Each triangle is worth 2x what a block is worth.
  • Each circle is worth 3x what a block is worth.
  • Everything is worth 10x its original value if it's in between the two blue vertical lines.
  • Objects are worth nothing if they are under the red threshold line.  Only objects above this line have asset value.
