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:
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
“If I play hard to get, soon the phone stops ringing altogether.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hideyhole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luck Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there’s a message there, I don’t think I want to hear it.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
