### 2. Rules of the Game

- Controlling the game

- The cursor-keys up and down will rotate the falling jewel.
- The cursor-keys left and right will move the falling jewel to the left respectively right.
- The space-bar will let the jewel fall immediately to the bottom.

- There are three types of jewels:

- Single colored jewels. They behave just as you would expect.
- Multi colored jewels. They behave like jokers and do allways have the right color.
- Crunchers. They will clear the playfield of the color they fall on.

- Scoring: For each jewel removed you will be rewarded 100 Point in the easy level, 200 in the normal level and 300 in the hard level. This number is doubled for every iteration of removing jewels.
- Speed: The speed of the game will gradually increase every 20 jewels. Therefore, it is necessary to get as many points out of one fallen jewel as possible.
