Sobre Quatro em Linha das Cerejas
Cherry Four in a Row is the classic game of four in a row, also known as connect four, played in a wooden orchard crate with seven columns and six rows. You drop glossy red cherries from the top; Juniper the jay drops dusty blueberries. Every fruit falls to the lowest empty hole of its column, so the crate fills from the bottom up.
Play against Juniper on Easy, Medium or Hard, or switch to 2 Players and share one screen. Every day there is also a Daily puzzle: the same half-filled crate for everyone, where you must make four in a row in a set number of drops while Juniper defends as well as it can.
Como jogar
- Tap a column to drop a cherry into it. A ghost cherry shows where it will fall, and a full column cannot take more fruit.
- Line up four of your fruit in a row — across, up or diagonally — to win. If the crate fills up with no four, the game is a draw. Who starts alternates from one game to the next.
- When Juniper has three in a row with a hole it could drop into next, that column glows amber: block it! A drop that blocks scores 10 points, and a drop that leaves you two different ways to win next turn scores 25.
- A win scores 100 plus 5 for every empty hole left, so quick wins pay more; a draw scores 30. Medium doubles every point and Hard triples it.
- You have three hearts. Losing a game, or giving one up after your first drop, costs a heart; a win gives one back. The game ends when the last heart is gone. In 2 Players there are no hearts and no score.
- In the Daily puzzle you play the cherries and must win within the drops shown: 2 on Mondays and Tuesdays, 3 from Wednesday to Friday and 4 at weekends. A drop that lets Juniper escape resets the puzzle. Solve it on consecutive days to grow your streak.
Controlos
- Teclado
- Click a column to drop a cherry; the mouse shows where it will land. The left and right arrow keys pick a column and Space, Enter or the down arrow drops; the number keys 1 to 7 drop straight into a column. U takes back your last drop, H shows a hint, N starts a new game and D opens the Daily puzzle.
- Toque
- Tap a column to drop a cherry, or press and slide along the crate, then lift your finger over the column you want. Undo, Hint, New and Daily sit below the crate; the button next to the hearts switches between Easy, Medium, Hard and 2 Players.
Dicas
- Start in the middle column: more lines of four pass through it than through any other column.
- Look for a drop that makes two threats at once. Juniper can only block one of them.
- Before you drop, check the hole just above where your fruit will land. If Juniper could win by dropping there, your fruit hands it the win.
- You get three undos and three hints per game, so save them for the moment Juniper sets up a trap.
