Absolutist introduces the new genre mix! This game takes the best of logic and action - arcade-style gameplay is combined here with the mystique of the puzzle. Your goal is to prevent the board from filling up with the oncoming blocks and to reveal a hidden picture of an animal at the same time. Pack up color blocks in lines and they will disappear, letting you see more and more parts of a hidden picture. We've forged the new scoring system to make the gameplay more unpredictable and gripping.

There are two types of blocks in the game: color blocks and picture pieces. Your goal is to remove as many picture pieces as possible. For removing one line you get 10 points, for two - 30 points, for three - 60 points, for four - 100 points. As you remove the lines you will see the progress bar being filled. The progress bar indicates how close you are to finishing the current level. When it is filled, the 'NEXT' button will appear. At that point you have two choises:

• click on the 'NEXT' button: this will reveal current picture and you'll be able to proceed to the next level
• continue playing the current level: in this case you'll have to reveal the remaining parts of the picture in the common way (i.e. by removing picture pieces), but the score for removing the lines will be raised five times!
