  "TUBIS" -   is   the    game
similar      to     well-known
"TETRIS" game,  developped  by
Alexey Pajitnov, but this game
pretends  on  more  complexity
and     variety     of    game
situations.
   Main element of game is the
tube - so the name TUBIS.
   When playing  you  need  to
look not the tube,  but in it.
The  tube  has many remarkable
things   and   from   it   are
continuously  sliding  to  you
the surprises  -  the  figures
formed of rectangles.
   The tube is builded of gray
blocks  -  48  blocks in ring.
Altogether  the  tube  has  16
rings.  The  rings are divided
in six arcs (by 8 blocks each)
and   each  arc  has  its  own
color,  defined  by  color  of
corresponding  arc  on colored
ring of tube wall.
   The figures  are sliding on
tube wall  one  after  another
and  are  stopping  where they
cannot continue  sliding. This
sutuation  may  arise  on last
ring (top  of  tube)  or  when
sliding  figure  is stopped by
preceding stopped  figure,  as
they  cannot to merge one with
another.   You   cannot   stop
sliding  figure  or reverse it
backward into tube,  but it is
possible  to rotate it or move
it on ring.
   Game ends when next sliding
figure      cannot      appear
completely  on  inner  wall of
tube.
   It is  understandable  what
if you won't  control  sliding
figures  good enough they will
fill all tube too  quickly and
game  will be ended.  You must
control the sliding figures so
they  will fill completely arc
after arc or ring  after  ring
on  tube  wall  without  empty
places.
   For example, if you'll fill
any  ring  in  tube,  it  will
disappear, and all figures and
their  segments,  which   were
laying   farther,   will  move
closer to you by one  row.  It
will get you many bonus points
and   will   free   for    you
additional      space      for
manoeuvres.
   Note, what the rings may be
filled with  figures  segments
of   any  color.
   Arcs unlike rings  must  be
filled  with  figures of fixed
color - the color of last ring
arc  of  tube.  The arc filled
with 8 or more figure segments
of fixed color disappears from
tube wall only when all 8 base
elements   of   this  arc  are
filled up.  In this  case  all
figure     elements,    laying
farther than  disappearing arc
are  moved  up  to  you by one
row.
   To rotate  figures  you can
use  Up-arrow  key,  to   move
figure  on  ring  - Left-arrow
(clockwise)   or   Right-arrow
(counter-clockwise) keys.
   If you    positioned    the
figure in tube as you like and
need to speed up its  slide to
you  (drop it),  you can press
Down-arrow key and figure will
hastily    drop   down   while
possible.  If you  would  like
you  can  use Spacebar to drop
figures. When dropping you can
press some move-figure key and
when stopped figure  will move
in  specified  direction once,
if it will be possible.
   To learn all keys instantly
is very hard task,  so do  not
think you'll get high score in
first games.  I hope you won't
experience   any  difficulties
when  playing  the  game   and
won't be disappointed with it.
   Any time you can change the
speed  of sliding using F3 anf
F4. If you are playing on high
speed  you'll  get more points
than usually.
   To pause  game  use  Escape
key.  To  continue  game  when
paused  you  can press any key
with  no   effects   on   game
situation.
   To control  sound   effects
use F2 key.
   Any time you can  exit game
with F10 key.
   If you'd like you  can  use
Boss  Pause  mode with F8 key.
When in Boss Pause  you return
to game with F8.
   Points are scored for:
   - each appeared figure
   - each    slide-step    for
     dropped figure
   - completed arcs and rings.
   If you are playing too good
the   complexity   level    is
automatically  increased:  the
appearing  figures  are   more
complex and speed is higher.
   Attaining higher      level
scores    you    some   visual
surprises and lastly  (on  9th
level)     you     can     get
Congratulations Order and game
switches     to    Experienced
Tubiser Masterchief Level.

          Try harder
    to get to Hall of Fame!
      Good luck to you!
     ( If it can help! )
