Rules for Captain Click

Introduction

Object of the Game

• Click groups of three or more like-coloured coins to clear them from the screen and collect points.
• The glass tube on the left-hand side of the screen fills with coins for each group of like-coloured coins you clear. Once it is full, a treasure chest will fall into play.
• To reach the next level, sink the treasure chest by clearing the coins below it so that it can fall to the bottom of the screen.

How to reach the next level

• There are five stages (levels) in Captain Click. The first levels are relatively simple because there are only three varying colours to clear and the coins flow onto the screen slowly. The third level introduces an additional colour and an increase in speed.
• There is a glass tube on the left-hand side of the game. Your first mission is to fill this tube with the gold coins you receive for clearing the coloured coins in the game. But you'll have to be careful, because clicking on groups of less than 3 like-coloured coins result in point deductions.
• Once the glass tube is full, a treasure chest will fall onto the screen. Now your mission is to sink this chest to the bottom of the screen by clearing all the coins beneath it. Once the treasure chest has reached the bottom, you will receive a bonus and the next level will begin.
• If you clear all 5 levels before the time runs out, you will get a big surprise!

Scoring

• The amount of points you receive for each group of like-coloured coins you clear depends directly on the number of coins in the group, i.e.: 5 points for a group of 5 coins.

• For clearing large groups of coins you receive bonus points. In the example below, if you were to clear the yellow and red coins, they would give way to a large group of blue coins, which would in turn be worth a lot of extra points.

• Make use of the bonus multipliers (x2, x3, x4) in conjunction with large groups of coins. The multipliers are applied to the group with which they are cleared. You do not have to click on the multiplier coin to receive the bonus, just click within its group. The total value of the cleared coins will be multiplied by the multiplier.

• You can score even more points by clearing as many colour series as posslbe. A colour series is attained when you clear several groups of the same colour coins consecutively. The colour and length of the current series is displayed at the top of the screen. Additionally, the captain's lantern will glow in the corresponding colour to the current colour series. A colour series in a higher level is worth much more than in the lower levels.

• Clear the entire board! If you manage to clear the entire board of coins, then you will receive a Clearing Bonus . This bonus increases each time you clear the board!

• The bonus increases with each level. In level 1, you recieve 50% of the basis bonus for a colour series, clearing the screen and other accomplishments. In the 5th level you receive a 5 times the basis bonus! The higher the level, the more valuable the bonus.

Bombs and Buttons

• Black bombs destory the 20 coins around the bomb.

• Colour bombs clear all of the coins on the board with the corresponding colour. The colour bomb is activated in the example below.

• The arrow at the bottom, right side of the board can be used to accelerate the flow of new coins onto the board. By clicking on the arrow, a row of coins will flow onto the board. This can be useful when building a long colour series. You can also accelerate the flow of coins by pressing the space bar.

Level Rewards

Tips & Tricks

• The best way to earn the biggest points is by creating long colour-series in the final levels. Pick a colour, and try to only clear coins of that colour as long as possible. It is also important to note that bombs do not interrupt a colour series!
• Get to levels 4 and 5 as quickly as possible. You receive 4-5 times the bonus in these levels. A short colour series in level 5 is worth more than a long colour series in level 1.
• Attempt to trap, several bonus multipliers in a group of coins. A large, like-coloured group with all multipliers can give you a bonus of up the 40 times the original value!
• If you manage to complete the 5th level , before you run out of time, then you will be rewarded with a worthwhile surprise!
