Menus and Options

There are several menu and option screens in Splodey!

Main Menu – Primary

When Splodey! starts you begin on the primary main menu screen. On this screen, you have the following choices:

• Start starts gameplay.
• Local Scores displays the top 10 scores stored on your phone.
• Global Scores shows you the top Splodey! scores worldwide (connects to internet).
• Quit exits Splodey!.
• More takes you to the secondary main menu screen.

If Splodey! cannot verify that you have a valid license to play (i.e. you paid for the game), a message to that effect is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

Main Menu – Secondary

• Profile allows you to change the name which is displayed for your global scores.
• Help displays this help file.
• Options brings up a screen allowing you to tailor Splodey! features to your liking.
• Back takes you to back to the primary main menu screen.

Start Level Screen

• Start At Level 1 starts the game at the beginning.
• Start At Level XXX starts the game at the highest level achieved. Your starting score is set to 90% of the highest score achieved.
• Endless Kids Play! starts a never-ending game. Each level gives you 2x as much time to play… and when time is up the next level starts.
• Back takes you to back to the primary main menu screen.

Options Screen

• Enable Sound: Allows you to completely disable sound (music and effects). Can improve performance and/or robustness.
• Music Volume: A slider for music volume, from full volume to zero volume (no music).
• Effects Volume: A slider for sound effects volume, from full volume to zero volume (no effects).
• Tilt Sensitivity: A slider to change how much the balls react to gravity, from no effect to one-half gravity.
• Haptic Feedback (Buzz): Turn off haptic feedback (phone buzz), which lets you know when you hit the maximum ball limit.
• Speed Mode: Select this to speed up level start and finish screens.

Use your finger to drag the list up and down so you can see all entries. Splodey! remembers your settings even when the game isn’t running.

Profile Screen

Use this screen to identify yourself to Scoreloop for global scoring.

• Name: Global scores will display this name for your high scores. If you change this name, global high score lists change to reflect the new name.
• Email: Used by Scoreloop to identify you as a real person.
• Enable Global Scoring: Uncheck this if you don’t want your scores displayed for the world to see.
• Update: Updates your data to Scoreloop and saves it on the phone.

Exit Menu

When you use the Back button while playing, you’ll see the following choices.

• Quit Game: Quits the game abandoning the score.
• Save Score: Quits the game, but takes you to the High Score Entry screen so you can register a high score.
• Play More!: Returns you to sploding blocks.

High Score Entry Screen

If your score makes the local list, you’ll always see this screen when the game ends. If you don’t get a local high score and you haven’t disabled global scoring, you’ll get a chance to register a global score.

• User Name: The name to use for local high scores. Will be grayed out if you didn’t make the local list.
• Also submit to global scores: Select this to register a global high score. Will be grayed out if your profile has disabled global scoring.
• Submit Score: Submits your score to appropriate high score lists.
• Exit: Exits this screen without submitting your score to either list.

Additional information is available below the Submit/Exit buttons regarding your score and options.
