Klax Genesis
Game Information
Klax features a conveyor belt at the top of the screen. It constantly rolls toward the playing area, delivering a steady supply of blocks. The player controls a small device which sits at the interface between the conveyor belt and the playing area, and can be moved left and right to catch the blocks and either deposit them in the playing area or push them back up the conveyor belt. The device can hold up to five blocks. A block which is not caught and placed in the playing area or pushed back up the belt is considered a drop. The blocks are solid colours, but there is also a flashing block which can be used as a wildcard on any colour.

Additional Information
Set against varying outer space backgrounds, Klax has you controlling a paddle that moves horizontally across five slots positioned in front of a vertical conveyor belt. The tiles descend toward you from this conveyor belt, and you should catch the tiles to put them in a bin which is located below your paddle. The paddle can hold up to five tiles at once. You can throw a tile back on the conveyor belt if you don't want to put it in your bin just yet.
There are five different types of waves in this game. Each one requires you to perform a specific task before you move on to the next stage. The tasks include catching a certain number of tiles, scoring a certain number of points, and getting a certain number of Klaxes, whether all diagonal, all horizontal, or any combination of the three kinds of Klaxes.
If you let a tile get by without catching it first, it will increase your drop meter. Let this happen too many times and your game is over. Also, the game will end if the tile bin gets full before you can finish a wave.
