NAME

       angrydd - a falling block puzzle game

SYNOPSIS

       angrydd [ --debug ]

DESCRIPTION

       In  Angry,  Drunken  Dwarves,  you  are an angry, drunken dwarf. Why are you so angry? Who
       knows. But you've decided to take your aggression out on other dwarves, by  dropping  gems
       on their heads. Lots of gems.

       You  have  your  own supply of gems, which will slowly fall from the top of the screen. As
       gems reach the bottom, they will land and sit in place. If you put enough gems of the same
       color in a rectangle shape, they will merge and form a crystal.

       Less  common  are  break  gems,  which are circular. When you drop a break gem on a gem or
       crystal of the same color, it will destroy any gems of that color adjacent to it. Crystals
       are worth much more than an equal number of regular gems.

       For more information, see the "How to Play" screen in the game.
