How To Play - pointman

Color Clusters

Your goal is to make big color clusters with three or more blocks of the same color touching.

Scoop and Throw

Hold left click while hitting a block to scoop it up and save it for later. Right click to launch your saved blocks.


WHITE BLOCKS: You'll also notice special white blocks on the track. They never match in clusters, but do collect for big points if they touch the bottom of the puzzle grid.

SCORING: Larger matches are worth more points. There's also a "rainbow" bonus for having different colors of clusters collect together. Hot colors are worth more points than cool colors.

CHAIN BONUS: Keeep hitting blocks (but don't overfill) to keep your chain multiplier high. It's shown under your score.

POWERUP TIP: When playing Pointman, you can scoop powerups in addition to blocks.

CLEAN FINISH BONUS: End the song with an empty grid for a big bonus.

SEEING RED / BUTTER NINJA: Collect nearly all the red blocks and/or nearly all the yellow blocks for these end-ride bonuses.

Don't loose the Chain bonus!
