Ogles

Pressing the ESCAPE key whilst game is in play will enable the player to return back to the Hall of Fame screen from which the game can be restarted by pressing the Space Bar.

Levels Of Play

There are two levels of play available.

Level 1: For The Younger Person

The game starts with one stack of randomly coloured Ogles appearing on the right hand side of the screen. The player has to move Flash the dog on the screen to cross the path of the Ogle which matches the colour of the corresponding Ogle in the stack.

The Ogle has then to be moved to the top of the right-hand column on the left-hand side of the screen and the Ogle can then be dropped onto the stack. If the Ogle is dropped in the wrong place then it will automatically be moved to the middle of the screen and dumped into the bin. Once this stack has been completed then the next round is played with two stacks then three stacks and then four stacks.

Level 2: For The Older Person

The sequence is the same as for Level 1 but play against the clock together with a scoring system are added. The clock counts down from 99 to 0.

See who can achieve the highest score!

See how can complete the stacks before the countdown runs out!

Any score over 2,000 is excellent and a fine achievement.

Game Controls

Z - Left, X - Right, : - Up, ? - Down, D - Drop

Diagonal movement is possible by pressing the two appropriate keys for movement required.

Scoring

The score is computed as follows:

+10 points for each correct Ogle in the stack.
-20 points for each Ogle dumped into the bin.
+10 times the number left on the clock.

For level 2 players, a Hall of Fame is kept and shown at the end of each game.
