Castle of Thorns
----------------

Once upon a time a beautiful pricess was
put to sleep by an evil fairy. As time
passed the Castle was overgrown by thick
thorn bushes, preserving everyone inside
from the ravages of time.

The curse stated that the princess would
sleep until a brave warrior braved the
perils of the thorns and won through to
find the princess.

Only the bravest warrior, a knight would
reach the princess where a kiss would
awaken the sleeping beauty. And with her
the castle would awake.

Installation
------------

Extract the .zip file into a directory
retaining the directory structure.
(There should be a subdirectory called
images after unzipping the file).

All the DLLs are enclosed and no additional
files should be required.

To start the game run
CatleOfThorns.exe

To uninstall delete the directory.

Game Play
---------

Use the keys [A], [B], [C] or [D] to
select one of the open spaces in the
puzzle. Then use the arrow keys to move
a neighbouring item into the selected
space.

Create lines of the same item to score
points, with larger groups of the same
item scoreing more points. Groups are
removed as they are formed.

If when one group is removed a new line
of three or more is formed it will also
be removed. These additional lines are
worth more points than a normal line.


Each level is completed once you either
get enough score to fill your score bar,
or when the time limit is exceeded as
shown by the bar moving down in the
screen.

Once a level is complete a new level
starts where the time limit is smaller
and you need to score the same number
of lines and groups to complete the level.

At higher levels the multiplication
bonus of secondry groups (combos) is
important to finish the levels.
