up your opponent's board. In this mode, destroying lines directly results in damage to the opponent's board. Each damaged token flips, making it unplayable, until opponents tap it with the stylus. Multiple lines destroyed results in a greater number of flipped tiles. More powerful attacks occur when completely horizontal or vertical lines are drawn from one edge to the opposite edge of the grid. These attacks result in "blocks" being thrown on your opponent's board, which must be destroyed (i.e. included in a chain) twice to be completely removed. The game is over when one board is completely filled with tiles or "blocks". VS Computer: Play a normal battle against the computer and unlock up to five successively more difficult CPU skill levels. Online play When playing on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the Nintendo DS nickname, rank and score of each player are tracked. The leaderboards on Konductra.com can be used to compare individual ranks and scores with players from around the world. Anyone that quits is awarded an automatic loss, to prevent the behaviour often encountered during Mario Kart DS online play, where competitors would exit the game when they realised they were going to lose so as not to affect their rank. Only Worldwide games played on the Nintendo WFC modify the player's ranking - Local/Friend matches do not. When a Nintendo WFC Worldwide match is played, the player's current rank and highest score from the single player Score mode is posted on the online leaderboards. Reception Konductra received average reviews, scoring 60% on Metacritic and 63% on GameRankings. Many critics criticized the bare-bones presentation, but praised the gameplay, some calling it "original" and "solid".
