Play
The game is played with two players in four modes, Human vs AI, Human vs Human, Single Player, and Demonstration. In Demonstration Mode, two artificial intelligence players play against each other to show how the game is played. The controls are similar to Tetris. To play, the players must match at least four (although this number is configurable, it is default) blobs in groups (not necessarily rows), using pairs of blobs falling from the top of the field (again, similar to Tetris). These groups are eliminated from the field, and the blobs above it fall, which may make more groups (a "combo"). The game is won when the other player fills his pane to the top.

Famous quotes containing the word play:
“The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning....They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
