INSTRUCTION
We start playing with a board completely covered. Poking one of the cells, will un-cover a letter that will stay visible without further clicks. Every time we touch (click) a cell, a letter will be revealed. There are 8 pairs of letters in total hiding in the game-board, randomly placed. The objective is to match all letters. Matching has to be done in 2 consecutive clicks. Not making a match in the second click will make the previous letter appear for about 1 second and then becoming covered again. On the other hand, if the letter of the second consecutive click matches the first letter, both letters will become permanently uncovered i.e. stay visible until the entire game board is uncovered until the entire game-board is revealed.
There is no loosing playing this game but loosing the patience, giving up before all cells are uncovered. When finally all cells are uncovered you will be greeted with a cheerful fanfare and your handset will vibrate briefly.
This game does not bother you with suggestions of purchases and is free from commercials meaning no risk for unintentional buying of products or services and no straying off to obscure web-sites. This is particularly good when your children plays the game. This is what you get when you buy this app.
