What is FlickEm?
FlickEm is an 'Action Based' puzzle game.
The goal of the game is to flick chips into matching colored pockets to earn the highest score with 100 chips in 100 seconds!
Time is of the essence to quickly flick chips to boost the slots on a pocket before they start to cooldown. Its a race against time.
The Cooldown
A slot is filled each time a matching colored chip is flicked into it. You must flick 6 matching chips to fill all the slots.
There is a Cooldown pressure where the slots start to decrease back to 0 if a chip hasn't been flicked into the pocket in a certain amount of time.
Tip: The Cooldown time for a slot is 10 seconds
The Lockout
When you flick 6 chips into the same pocket, the pocket locks out. You cannot score on that pocket until you flick an Unlock Chip into the pocket.
...There is an incentive to locking out pockets :)
Score Multpilers
You earn a Score Multiplier each time a pocket is locked out.
Score Multipliers are awesome because they can increase your score up to 10X!
Wildcard Chips
These chips allow you to 'boost' the slot count on ANY pocket up to 6 times in one shot! This saves time and helps maximize your score!
Tip: Match the number on the Wildcard to the number of empty slots on a pocket - It would be a waste to flick a 6 Wildcard into a pocket that already has five filled slots!
Chip Cues
There are 4 chip cues in the corners of the play field which you can press in order to store and swap the current chip at any time.
These cues come in handy to help you strategize and also maximize your score!
Tip: This is a good place to store Wildcard and Unlock chips until you need them most
Passing Chips
You have the ability to pass on ANY chip in the game by pressing the PASS button in the bottom bar.
Tip: Passing may help you in a bind if your Chip Cues are full, but remember, passing also gives you zero points for that chip!
Don't get caught losing
If you have a single pocket locked when time runs out, you lose the game!
Speed and Strategy is the key to FlickEm!
Tip: It might be wise to unlock a pocket as soon as you can
