How to Play

~ Controls ~

Left mouse button	Click buttons.  Activate tiles.
Right mouse button	Pan around the screen during gameplay.

~ Instructions ~

Your task is to click a field of tiles to keep all of them from dying or busting while you rack up ridiculously high scores.  If only it were as easily done as it is said!

Click a tile so that it and its surrounding tiles will RANK UP!

Neglect a tile for too long, and the water will rise over it and the tile will RANK DOWN.

When a tile ranks up too high, it will BUST!  Your game ends if you bust too many tiles.

When a tile ranks too low, it will DIE!  Just like with busted tiles, your game ends if too many tiles die.

There is a secret way to gain points in great volume.  Keep your eyes open and look for holes in your strategy.
