The goal of Notrus is to clear as many lines as � � possible, and of course, to obtain the highest score. The game ends � � when the blocks stack up to the top. � � � � The 'NOT' � � 袴袴袴袴� � � When four lines are cleared simultaneously the player receives a 'NOT'. � � For each 'NOT', a notch is cut out of the border on each side, starting � � from the bottom. This represents the number of 'NOT's obtained by the � � player. When the player clears four more lines simultaneously after � � previously receiving a 'NOT' but before clearing any other lines, the � � player is awarded with a double 'NOT', two 'NOT's. � � � � The 'NOT' is used to clear lines. When activated, each 'NOT' clears its � � respective line. All 'NOT's are activated simultaneously. If the blocks � � reach the top, normally ending the game, the 'NOT's will activate � � automatically. � � � � General Tips � � 컴컴컴컴컴컴 � � o More points are obtained by dropping pieces from a higher position. � � o A good foundation will assist the player in clearing many lines. � � o The power of the 'NOT' is revealed at higher levels. � � � � Keyboard (Note: Num Lock should be on in this evaluation version.) � � 컴컴컴컴 � � 2 or SPACE Drop � � 4 Left � � 5 Rotate � � 6 Right � � 8 Next Level � � ENTER Activate 'NOT's � � ESC Title Screen (from game) � � Quit (from title screen) � � Q Quit (from game) � � R Restart � � � � Registration � � 袴袴袴袴袴袴 � � Registering Notrus entitles the owner to free upgrades.
