---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tensor is a single-player, real-time action/strategy game in which you move
tiled pieces on an 8-by-8 game board. The game is level based where each level
has its own unique features. Some levels contain obstacles such as barriers or
pits that interfere with play.
Associated with each level is a quota value. This quota represents how many
additional points must be earned before completing the level. Higher levels
have a larger quota than lower levels. Points are earned by merging pieces of
the same piece type together on a square. The greater the number of pieces
removed in a single turn, the larger the points.
Completion of a level within a limited amount of time advances you to the next
level. The game ends when you can not complete the level before the time runs
out. Naturally, higher levels are harder to complete than lower levels.
The game is played with the mouse, although keyboard shortcuts are available
for menu commands. Also, there are two types of game built into Tensor. The
first is a standard game for new players. The second is a fusion game for
advanced players.
The characteristics of the fusion game can be varied by the player.
Tensor comes in both an OS/2 and Windows 3.1 version in the same box.
