GAME & RULES

Earn as many points as possible before timeout, and avoid sudden death.

The gaming space contains the following types that the spades can interact with:

  • Sky(cyan): the safe area, no effect
  • Soil(black): the thick wall around, can be digged to generate Gap. Digging soil will turn the Spade into "digging" mode (turn to green).
  • Gap(purple): the purple area after Soil is digged. Touching Gap in digging mode will cause the spade die.
  • Fake food(orange): randomly generate Real Food in Gap when eaten. If there's no Gap in the board, simply disappear when eaten.
  • Real Food(yellow): score 1 point when eaten. Spade will get 2 points if in digging mode.
