This is a remake of the classic puzzle game Same Game. This is an improved version of the game that was previously entered for the 4k competition. The original was placed 13th of 21.
User guide
The aim is to click on same coloured groups to get points and clear the screen.
The score is incremented by (number of marbles in group - 1)^2. After you cleared a group, the marbles will then drop down and move left to keep together.
Keep removing groups until the creen is clear, at which point the screen will fill again and you can get even more points. However not all games will end this way, if you reach a position where no groups of 2 or more are possible the text 'Restart ?' will appear on the screen.
At any point during play you can restart a level losing your score from that level by pressing Start, or return to the level select screen by pressing Select (losing your score completely).
You will hear some sound effect if you made a good or bad move.

Technical details:
It was written in C (source included), compiled to ARM asm (no Thumb nonsense) with an ARM compiler, patched a bit (header & loader <courtesy of Shaun Southern's 2002 Mode 7 demo> added, file included) then assembled with Goldroad. It uses Mode 4 and does some very simple sound stuff by chirping up or down.
