                              Quick Overview
                              --------------

Syzygy is a game where you move pieces around to form lines of the same color
that are at 4 blocks or longer in length.  Pieces contain 3 blocks, each one
of which can be 1 of 4 colors.  The pieces fall in a manner similar to T*tris,
but as I always have tried to stress, this game is NOT T*tris, nor anything
like it.  It is merely in the same genre (move-the-piece-to-make-lines).  You
really should give it a try!

                              About the Name
                              --------------

I admit I took a few liberties with the name...  If you really want to know,
a "syzygy" is when 3 celestial bodies (such as the moon, Earth, and sun) come
to a point in their orbit when the three form a line (such as what happens
during an eclipse).  I took the part of the meaning that meant "line."  This
is really stretching it, but I decided I needed a new and unusual-sounding
name as an attention-getter.  This game was originally called "Colors," but it
wasn't being downloaded that much, the main reason being it probably wasn't an
attention-grabbing name.  So I decided on "Syzygy."  I hope you like the game!
