Hobart, TAS -- 26 October 1999 -- Beyond Midnight Software today announced the release of Flip!, a challenging puzzle game for people of all ages.
What is Flip?
Flip! is a game of skill, a game of strategy, and a game of luck. The idea is simple. You have a grid of double-sided tiles. One side of each tile is light in colour, the other side is dark. The tiles start out randomly turned to one side or the other. The object of the game is to get a particular pattern of dark and light coloured tiles on the grid. Sound easy? Then perhaps it is time to tell you the rules.
Play takes place on a 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 grid. Only tiles showing the light side can be flipped. A tile that is flipped will flip some (or all) of its surrounding tiles. In the 5x5 and 7x7 game, the tiles that are flipped are always the 8 surrounding tiles. In the 3x3 game, the additional tiles that will be flipped vary depending on the location of the tile.
To make the game slightly easier, you are given a limited number of "single tile flips", allowing you to flip a single tile at a time no matter which side is facing up. Useful for the easy levels, necessary for the harder levels!
Flip! has 30 different patterns to challenge, frustrate and annoy, and should provide many hours of entertainment!
Features
- 3 levels of difficulty, with 10 patterns for each level.
- Unlimited Undo and Redo of all moves.
- A choice of graphics for the tiles in the game window.
- High Scores; the Best Time and Best Flip Count is recorded for each pattern, along with the name of the person who got them.
- Sound effects (optional, of course!)
