Pickies is sort of a cross between a cross word puzzle and a jewel matching game.
The game screen consists of rows and columns of squares laid out crossing each other, just like a cross word puzzle game, except that you are not going to fill it with letters to form words but you are going to fill it with Pickies to form a row or a column of same type Pickies. The minimum length of column or row that must be filled is 3 but if the column or row contain more than 3 squares, all of the squares must be filled with the same type pickies before that row is cleared. For each Pickies cleared, the number will go to fulfill the requirement that can be seen at top of the screen. To place the Pickies on a square, simply point your mouse cursor to that square and click the left mouse button.
If the requirement has been met, the game will advance to the next level and the layout will change. If you filled all square and failed to form a row or column consists of the same type pickies, you will lose i live. If you lose all lives (remaining number can be seen from top right of the screen), the game is over. |
