SameGame is a single-player game. The idea is to eliminate as many items from the grid as 
possible, but you can only eliminate items that occur in clusters. A cluster is a group of 
matching items—red marbles, for example—that touch each other horizontally or vertically 
(but not diagonally). As clusters are eliminated, the remaining items drop down to fill in 
vacant spots; when a whole column is eliminated, the remaining columns move to the left to 
fill in.

The object of SameGame is to accumulate the highest score. You earn points when you 
eliminate a cluster; you get bonus points for larger clusters (4 points for a cluster of three, 
say, but 44 points for a cluster of eight).

The game board has two sections:

•

Grid—largest area on the screen, consisting of a field of 128 cells (8 rows by 16 
columns).

•

Status bar—the bottom line of the screen, where point totals and game status 
information display.

•
