Donkey Bricks v 2.1

Donkey

Tackle perplexing puzzles posed by Donkey and his gang!

The premise is simple*:

Use the keys or tap the screen to move the blocks about. When blocks of the same type touch, they stick together. The puzzle is complete when all of the blocks of each type are stuck together.

The puzzles are grouped into levels. You can complete the puzzles in any order.

Some puzzles have an extra shape bonus. Complete the puzzle with the shape in the little map on the right to get your bonus.

It sounds easy, and sometimes it is!

* but not simple enough for me to think up on my own.

Featuring

• Greyscale and Colour Graphics for most bits!
• A Tutorial
• No Sound
• An About Screen (can you find it?)
• 50-ish Puzzles
• Several Levels of Difficulty

Installation

The complete source for the program has been included as DOC files. You do not need to install these to play.

Playing

First you select the puzzle you want to play.

The puzzles available at your current level are in a stack on the left of the screen. A puzzle is outlined if you have not completed it yet. You can try puzzles as much as you like. As soon as you have completed all the puzzles in a level, you move on to the next one.

Use the Scroll keys or tap the puzzle at the top or bottom until the one you want is beside the animal. Then press the Memo key or tap that puzzle to go.

Then try and stick the blocks together:

The keys:

• The Scroll keys move the blocks up and down.
• The Address key moves the blocks left.
• The To-Do key moves the blocks right.
• The Calendar key quits the puzzle.
• The Memo key undoes the last move. (You can only undo one move.)

Alternatively:

• Tap towards the edges of the screen to move the blocks up, down, left & right.
• Write a Graffiti 'q' to quit.
• Write a Graffiti 'u' to undo.
• That's it.
