How it's played:
overview
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/snake.png) the snake follows your mouse or the analog stick of your joypad.
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/dot28_blue.png) the balls move if you touch them with the snake or another ball.
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/link.png) the links are like balls, but they bond together if they touch each other.
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/stone.png) the stones never move and do nothing else.
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/magnet.png) the magnets, unmovable themselves, attract everything that moves. the number of circles rotating around them indicates how many items may get captured in them.
(http://krank.sourceforge.net/gfx/anchor.png) the anchors never move, but bond together with links. the number of circles rotating around them indicates how many links may bond with them.
the aim: the aim of each level is to remove all anchors and magnets.
the magnets: a magnet will vanish
* if it captured at least as many balls as circles are rotating around it
* if all the captured balls have the same color as the magnet
* if it stayed for 3 seconds in the above condition
if a magnet is fully loaded, but includes links (or balls of a different color), it will explode, but not vanish.
the anchors: anchors will vanish if
* it is connected to as many other anchors as circles are rotating around it
* all the connected anchors and links have the same color as the anchor
* all other anchors of the same color are fully connected
if all the above conditions are valid for 3 seconds, those anchors will be removed.
if an anchor is connected to another anchor, but the connecting chain includes links
of a different color, it will explode, but not vanish.
the chains: a connection between two links will be broken if one link is touched by
a ball or captured by a magnet.
solving levels: for each level you solve, there will be two more levels available to play,
so you can skip levels you don't like.
