New BoXplosion for Linux with cool 3D effects, bright colors and gripping gameplay! An arcade game on speed, combinatorial analysis and logic.

The basic goal is to clear the field that is always being filled up by deleting three or more bricks that stand together.

The game has an unlimited number of levels that become more and more complicated. Enjoy new skins for any taste. Use various bonuses and tricks to explode the oncoming blocks!

Game Rules

The main goal of the game is very simple-to remove color squares from the board. They can be taken out only in blocks of the same color, these blocks are selected when the mouse moves over. Just click on the block to take it out. Single squares cannot be cleared, and when no blocks remain-the game is over. There are two different games:

STRATEGY

Here the goal is just to remove as many squares in few moves as possible. You get two points for every square you've managed to clear at the end of the game the percent of the field left uncleared is counted down. This value is shown on the indicator under the playing field. The new level begins. At the end of it the percent of the squares left on a board is added to the value on indicator. When indicator reaches 100%, the game is over. The goal is to go through as many levels as possible.

ARCADE

In this game you have to remove like-colored blocks that are in clusters so that they couldn't fill the board to the top. Removing big blocks will bring you more points. You'll get extra bonus if you remove extremely big blocks.

To move to the next level you should cope with a certain number of lines that will be added to the board.The speed of the game grows as you move from one level to another.
Bombs that sometimes appear on the board will help you to cope with a level: a click on a bomb of certain color will blow up all the squares of the same color. Clicking on a black bomb will blow up all the squares around it.

Bonuses:
Two bombs lying aflat -delete a horizontal line
Two bombs lying upright - delete a vertical line
Three stars - delete detached squares - those that are not included into blocks
Many stars - delete all blocks on the board
Block - 2 (in strategy) and 3 (in arcade) squares, lying together
Diagonal arrows - all squares of the same color change it into any other color, for instance, all blue squares change into yellow
Round squares - turn the squares on the field from the right to the left and top-down.
