Game Description: Use your Match 3 skills, and quick thinking, to rack up as many points as you can in just three minutes!
How to Play Springo Bingo Deluxe:
- Click the 'Play' button.
- The next screen you will see, will probably ask "Would like to view a tutorial?" If this is your first time playing Springo Bingo Deluxe you may want to click 'Yes'. (The tutorial is very short and explains some of the basics). Otherwise, click 'No'.
- There are 5 different colored balls on the board: B (pink), I (green), N (orange), G (blue), and O (purple). In addition to these 5 colored balls, there are also black balls that contain Bingo numbers.
- You score points by swapping adjacent balls to create lines of 3 or more like-colored balls in a row. For instance, you can make a line of 3 pink balls in a row, 3 greeen balls, and so forth.
- To swap two balls you may either use a dragging motion, or click each ball individually. The two balls you swap must be right next to each other either hortizontally, or vertically (but not diagonally).
- Black balls that contain Bingo numbers cannot be swapped.
- The clock is at the upper left corner. You only have 180 seconds (3 minutes) to make as many points as you can.
- At the left there are 5 different powerups.
- You earn powerups by scoring points. As you score points the powerup bar fills from bottom to top with a dark pink color. Springo Bingo Deluxe will let you know when your powerups are available by sight (the powerups will come to life) and by sound.
- Powerups can be used to destroy large groups of balls!
- To use a powerup, first click on the powerup you want to use. Then, as your mouse hovers over the board, you will see which balls may be destroyed. Now, just click to destroy the balls of your choice.
- There is a Bingo board on the right.
- The Bingo board has 15 different numbers with 3 vertical lines of 5 numbers each.
- Each number on the Bingo board corresponds to one of the black Bingo balls. (You will not see all 15 black Bingo balls at the beginning of the game. You will only see a few. The rest will drop from the top as you play along).
- Drop the black Bingo balls all the way to the bottom and off the screen by clearing the balls under them.
- Each time you drive a black Bingo ball off the screen you are awarded big points and the number is marked off on the Bingo card at the right.
- Complete a vertical line of 5 numbers on your Bingo card and receive a Line Bonus of 1000 points for each line you complete.
- Drive all 15 Bingo numbers off the screen before time is up and you receive a House Bonus of 5000 points.
- Complete a House Bonus (at which point the game ends) and receive a Time Bonus of 100 points for each second that remains on the clock.
- Speed -- Earn 100 bonus points for clearing groups in quick succession.
- Multiplier -- Clear 12 balls in one go to multiply your score for 10 seconds.
- Bingo -- Clear groups that contain each letter of the word BINGO to earn 100 points.
- 5 in a row -- Clear a line of 5 balls to clear a row or column of balls.
- The game ends after 3 minutes, (or sooner if you are able to drive all 15 Bingo numbers off the screen and score a House Bonus).
Springo Bingo Deluxe Game Options: All of the game options are located at the top of the Bingo card at the right.
- The game music may be turned on or off by clicking the muscial note icon (the icon at the left).
- The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon (the icon in the middle).
- The game may be paused by clicking the pause icon (the icon at the right). To resume play, click 'Continue.'
Springo Bingo Deluxe Playing Tips:
- Your first instinct may be to totally concentrate on driving the Bingo numbers from the board. That, is probably not the best strategy. Remember every match you make on the board earns points, and points earn you powerups. It is easier to drive the Bingo numbers off the board quicker with powerups. I am not suggesting that you do not purposely try to drop the Bingo numbers down. I am simply pointing out that you should also try to make big matches anywhere on the board where you can, and quickly. Not only can you earn bonus points this way, but the all important powerups too.
