How to Play Shi-Kin-Jou
Quick start
Press START on the title to start from page 1. First, check the goal, the number of tiles that can be moved, and the positions of the tiles that can't be moved. Move the main character using the direction keys and press the tiles to make a path by touching the same types and numbers. If you make a mistake, press A to go back, and if you get stuck, press B to open the menu, select "Give Up" and press A to try again. You can continue by entering the password from the menu.
Controls
Directional keys: Move the main character, press tiles, select menus. A: Move back one move (up to 5 consecutive moves), decide menu. B: Open/close function menu. START: Start with title. SELECT: Not used. For the password, select digits using the left and right buttons, and increase or decrease the number using the up and down buttons. You cannot draw tiles. After taking the pickaxe, you can erase one by hitting the tile you want to break.
Shi-Kin-Jou — About this game
Move the main character through the maze and aim for the goal by matching and erasing regular tiles of the same type and number. You can push the tile but not draw it, so it is important to think about your next move before moving it to the wall. If a normal tile touches a blocking tile, that tile will also turn into a blocking tile, so be careful not to accidentally lose the erasable pair. There will also be invisible pitfalls, tricks that will make another tile appear after they are erased, and a pickaxe that can break one tile. By undoing up to 5 moves and redoing sides, you can gradually find the right path from failure.
