DESCRIPTION
krank is a game of dexterity, being somewhere between Breakout and
billiard, where the aim of each level is to shove floating stones
towards compatible static stones. You control a short chain of stones
with your mouse to achieve that.
Krank contains the following elements:
the snake
- follows your mouse or the analog stick of your joypad.
the balls
- move if you touch them with the snake or another ball.
the links
- are like balls, but they bond together if they touch each
other.
the stones
- never move and do nothing else.
the magnets
- unmovable themselves, attract everything that moves. the
number of circles rotating around them indicates how many items
may get captured in them.
A magnet will vanish if:
- it captured at least as many balls as circles are
rotating around it;
- all the captured balls have the same color as the
magnet;
- it stayed for 3 seconds in the above condition.
If a magnet is fully loaded, but includes links or balls of a
different color, it will explode, but not vanish.
the anchors
- never move, but bond together with links. the number of
circles rotating around them indicates how many links may bond
with them.
An anchor will vanish if:
- it is connected to as many other anchors as circles are
rotating around it;
- all the connected anchors and links have the same color
as the anchor;
- all other anchors of the same color are fully connected.
If all the above conditions are valid for 3 seconds, those
anchors will be removed.
If an anchor is connected to another anchor, but the connecting
chain includes links of a different color, it will explode, but
not vanish.
A connection between two links will be broken if one link is
touched by a ball or captured by a magnet.
For each level you solve, there will be two more levels available
to play, so you can skip levels you don’t like.
AIM
The aim of each level is to remove all anchors and magnets.
