Welcome to AZClear !
A game of Strategy, Reasoning, Memory, Patience and Luck !
The objective of the game is to clear all boxes of the board that contains a char.
The board boxes are filled randomly with chars from A to Z according to the selected level.
You have a short time to win.
You need 1 point to click on the game board or control buttons.
For each cleared box on the board you get 1 point, but each wrong click made you lose 1 point.
And each click on move or method buttons you lose 1 point, so be careful with this.
If you clear all boxes of the board you win.
If you get 0 points or your time runs out you lose.
To play you need to have an LG remote control compatible with your Smart TV applications, it must have the 4 colored keys, the Play and Pause keys in addition to the traditional movement and selection keys.
Help can also be accessed with the Stop key. If you have a Magic-type controller with a pointing function, the game will become more dynamic and easier to operate as you just click on the buttons or squares on the board, like using a mouse on your computer.
O The model on the left is a Smart TV controller and the one on the right is a Magic controller.
Click [ New ] button or use Red key to restart the game and select the desired mode and level to play.
On level A the boxes are filled with only A chars, on level B the boxes are filled with A or B chars, on level C the boxes are filled with A, B or C chars, and so on until Z level with all chars from A to Z.
The game modes are:
Easy ( Easy ) , Medium ( Medium ) , Hard ( Hard ) and Challenge ( Puzzle )
The first 3 methods define the game time, in Medium mode you have less time than in Easy and in Hard mode you have less time than in Medium. Letters A to Z define the level of the game.
The Puzzle mode (Challenge) is 26 boards fully filled where you can only use the methods to eliminate the chars and without being able to save or undo a move. Chars from A to Z define the board to be loaded.
To select the game mode click on the desired mode, use the colored keys, or use the movement keys to position the cursor over the mode and press Ok.
To start a new game, click on the desired Mode and then on a char from A to Z.
