Umbrella Trick is essentially a game of getting pieces of the same type into a group in order to clear that group from the screen. In this game, you are grouping umbrellas based on their color, with a minimal of 3 umbrella of the same color forming a horizontal line, vertical line or 'L' to make a group. Once the group is formed, it will be cleared out and you will get some points. the empty slots will be filled by umbrellas above them and thus it is possible to create a chain reaction of group formation and clear up.
You will get bonus points if you form a group using more than 3 umbrellas, form two groups or more simultaneously or cause a chain reaction that forms more groups. Sometimes the umbrella will appear with two colors, which means that it can be grouped with umbrella from either color. Sometimes additional items such as bomb will appear on top of the umbrella, which will cause extra clear up when it is used to form a group.
There is a time meter to the top right and when the meter turns all rainbow, your time has run out. You will have to clear a certain number of umbrellas before you can make it to the next level. The timer resets every level. |
