The red ones can be manipulated by using the mouse wheel or the up and down arrows.\r\nThe white petals are moving toward you, hence the change of size.\r\nIf they overlap a red petal when they are at full size then the red petal disappear but if they overlap with nothing then they become red petals.\r\nEvery time you have more red petal than empty ones you gain a level and have the possibility to switch between the previous and the new one where the same rules apply (with the 1,2,3,4 top number keys).\r\n\r\nIt gets pretty hard as you gain levels and the idea is to try and reach the final form of the rose.\r\n\r\nThe game could use in-game instructions and better everything but this is as far as I could get :)\r\nHope you'll have a good time, I think this game can do that once you get the hang of it.\r\n\r\n--------\r\nCONTROLS\r\n--------\r\nMouse wheel (or up and down arrows) to change the positions of the red triangles.\r\n1, 2, 3 and 4 to change the series of triangles you wish to control.\r\n\r\n--------\r\nStory\r\n--------\r\nMy friends and I actually used 3 more constraints in addition to the official theme. For the fun of it and because sometimes the LD themes are not enough :)\r\n\r\nWe chose a few we liked and categorized them (mechanic, control, display) and blindly picked one of each. The results were: leveling, indirect control and triangles only. Not the easiest ones but it was fun nonetheless.","title":"The Rose Processor"}
