Blockeroo is a free, multiplayer puzzle game for Series 60 mobile phones.  It differs from other similar puzzle games in three ways:

• Blockeroo is primarily a multiplayer game. You can play in single player or practice mode, but the multiplayer game is much more fun.
   
• Blockeroo allows you to compete against 3 human opponents over Bluetooth.  In fact, the game allows you to select 7 human opponents but due to the limitations of bluetooth you are likely to experience considerable network lag if you challenge more than 3 humans simultaneously.
   
• Blockeroo contains some cunning artificial intelligence that allows you to play against bots (algorithms that play Blockeroo without human intervention). Consequently, the multiplayer game can still be enjoyed even if you have no friends with Series 60 devices or indeed no friends.

Deathmatch

Blockeroo should run on all 1.x and 2.x Series 60 mobile phones.  It will not run on any 3.x devices.  It does not support Scalable UI and so it cannot take advantage of  the increased screen sizes available on some 2.8 devices e.g., the N90.  Nevertheless, it should run adequately in compatibility mode on such devices.

Before you can run Blockeroo, you need to download one of the Blockeroo installation files, otherwise known as sis files.  Once downloaded, copy the sis file to your mobile device and install it using the device's software installation system.  There are two different Blockeroo installation files.  Consult the following table to determine which installation file is suitable for your device.  By downloading these sis files you are agreeing to the terms outlined in the Blockeroo License Agreement.  You should read this agreement carefully and ensure that you agree to all of its terms before downloading and installing either of these sis files. 

The Blockeroo installation files are not Symbian Signed.  For this reason, when you try to install Blockeroo, a warning message will pop up indicating that the supplier of the software is unknown.  You should then decide whether or not you want to install Blockeroo.  Please note that you should always carefully consider whether you want to install non signed software on your device and Blockeroo is no different in this regard.  If you choose to continue with the installation, you will be presented with a license agreement.    Once you have agreed to this license agreement, Blockeroo will be installed.
