But here it is in plain text:
- You will be put into a map. This is the map.
- You can move using i,j,k,l and w,a,s,d.
██████████████████████░░█████ - In the map are tiles, diamonds, an exit, and the player
██ ▄░░▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ ▄░░▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ ██ - Tiles are the large 3x3 blocks. You move them using the letters i,j,k,l or their uppercase.

██ █████ █████ █████ This ██ - Some tiles contain pathways in them. Pathways are the lightly

██ █:3░░░░<>██░░<>░░ █████ ██ - The player CANNOT walk in between the small gaps between tiles. Those

██ █████ █████ █░░██ █████ ██ - Inside each tile is a diamond. They give you points when grabbed.
██▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄██ - You grab diamonds by moving the player. The player is 😔. You move

- The player can exit by moving to the pathway on the outer boundary
- Tiles with the player inside of them can also be moved
In the main menu, select "Start Game" to play the actual game. You can also choose "Level Select" to choose which of the 4 levels you would like to go to.
_____________________
SCORING SYSTEM
Stars are gained at the end of the level based on the number of diamonds grabbed.
0% - 49% : 1★
50% - 99% : 2★
100% : 3★
You also get a score at the end of each level. It is calculated by the equation:
2 ^ diamonds taken
score = —————————————————— * 20
tile moves
Note that the score increases exponentially to the number of diamonds taken to incentivize grabbing diamonds.
Also note that the score is only reduced by the number of tile moves, this is to encourage players to slide the tiles into a well connected maze before moving around
