SameGame is based on a game (of the same name) that ran from a wonderful Java applet. The day that I became hooked on SameGame, the applet disappeared (along with its owners' home directory). Hence, SameGame for the Newton was born. From there, we ported SameGame to the Palm Pilot, and later Windows CE.
The object of SameGame is to remove all of the tiles from the board. You can only remove tiles that are ajacent and of the same pattern. All adjacent tiles will be removed when you tap on any one.
Points are scored by the algorythm (tilesCleared - 2)^2. You get no points for clearing just two tiles at a time, one point for three, four points for four, nine points for five, and so on.
SameGame has varying levels of difficulty. The first level has three patterns, the second four, and so on. We've also provided a "detox" level, which has only two patterns; you won't get any score for this level.
