How to Play
Press the Esc key during play to access the help box. There's also some instructions on the left side of the play screen. But basically you try to align the red bars of the blocks with the red bars of other blocks. When a red bar of one block touches a red bar of another block, the red bars light up. When all the red bars on a block are lit, the rune on the block becomes lit. When all runes are lit in a "circuit" of blocks, the blocks blow up. If you've positioned the blocks so that some red bars are impossible to get to, then the blocks become locked and you have to earn points for a bomb block to clear the offending blocks. Clear the blocks with the stars in the corners to advance levels. Press the arrow keys to move blocks (blocks can go up if theres a floating block above it) and spacebar to rotate them. Press B to convert a regular falling block to be used as a bomb block. This can only be done if you have earned a bomb block. You can have up to 3 bomb blocks and they appear on the top of the play screen.
