Across the land, there lies mysterious towers holding the most peculiar blocks. Each of these blocks bears a face, forever etched onto them. Nobody knows what their purpose is; however, it's said that the towers they come from hold a name: the Tower of Flex.


In Tower of Flex, your goal is to match three of more of the same colored block either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If you get a chain of matches, your point multiplier goes up. To aid in your matching quest, you have the ability to flex the tower, swapping the blocks -- or lack thereof -- on both sides. Any matches you get from this action exponentially increase your multiplier. Use this to your advantage and aim for a high score!


Controls:

Left & right arrow keys | D-Pad left & right - Move block group left or right.

Up arrow | D-Pad up - Hard drop

Down arrow | D-Pad down - Soft drop

C and Z | B and A buttons - Rotate clockwise / counterclockwise or select rows (while in "Flex!" mode)

X | X Button - Toggle "Flex!" mode (see below)


Flex mode

While in flex mode, you can select up to three rows to switch to the other side by pressing either of the rotate buttons. To exit, press the "Flex!" mode button again. Exiting without selecting a row will let you recharge "Flex!" mode faster.
