----------------------3.1 Game Basics (standard blocks)----------------------
Basically you just try to reach the bottom of a deep cave by digging or
drilling through dozens of block layers.
A single drill usually destroys a single block leaving every block laying on
top of it open to whatever gravity wants to do with it (let it fall down of
course, d'oh) but of course it is not always that simple.
There are 4 different kinds of normal blocks (blue, green, red and yellow)
each with the same characteristics:
- They are destroyed with a single drill.

- If they happen to be in mid-air they start shaking for a brief moment
before falling straight down.

- If two or three blocks of the same colour get in contact (no matter if
horizontally or vertically) they link to each other creating a bigger
block that can't be split up again but is still destroyed with a single
drill.

- If four or more blocks of the same colour (or big blocks equal of 4
single blocks) connect they disappear. Should there be a big block
consisting of four or more single blocks from the beginning it must fall
down at least one row or get in contact with another block of the same
colour to disappear.
