Aim of the game

Game play

Within each puzzle are two grey blocks of matter. Touch one and it becomes unstable for a short period of time. If within that time the second block is touched, then both blocks will vapourise. There are several ways to solve each puzzle. However, as you progress through the stack of levels the unstable period becomes shorter. The solutions therefore become fewer and fewer.

MAP SCREEN: The Map Screen displays the following :

• Level of achievement.
• Number of lives remaining.
• Location of puzzles yet to be solved.
• Current location.

• Directional control - the direction of the ball cannot be changed in mid-flight. It can only be altered on contact with the ground or other objects.
• Bounce energy - the top half of the on-screen meter indicates the present bounce energy of the ball. This determines the height at which the ball can bounce. The lower half of the on-screen meter indicates the desired energy setting. This can be changed by holding down the fire button or appropriate key until the required energy setting is reached. Release to activate the new setting.
