HOW TO PLAY
Venture your way through each level avoiding hazards and solving puzzles. Each level is a unique challenge and some can require great maneuvering skills. Included is a tutorial mode where you can practice controlling the ball and become familiar with how the mechanics of the game work.

There are two methods of scoring. Racing your way to the Exit Lifts to make the fastest possible times or by carefully collecting as many gems as possible to score the highest points.

To help you along the way you have the following abilities: Booster to speed up the ball, Regenerators to rescue the ball from falling, Construction Blocks to build bridges and patch holes.

In two player modes Land Mines are available. In a co-operative mission these can come in use to blast through walls, whilst having the Fire Protection of course, but in a battle arena Mines can be a deadly weapon to use against each other.

  • Move the ball with your desired Controls. The ball will gain speed as it's moving (if you are using the mouse you only need to move it slowly and gently see Mouse Controls)
  • The ball has an Inventory, lives, health and a booster.
  • The Exit Lift needs to be located to complete the level.
  • Hazards in the level can be a dangerous threat to the ball so if the ball falls off the map or all the health is drained then a life is lost.
  • Each level has a time limit, if the time limit is reached the level is reloaded and a life is lost!
  • If all lives are lost the game is over.


    How to use items:

    Most items will be used automatically on touch (for example if you have a gold key and touch a gold gate the gate will open and the key will be discarded).

    In order to use items you must first have them available, see Game Screen and Inventory

    Here is how to make use of the items:
