WIPEOUT
As any hard-bitten hack who's had to haul his board halfway across the
galaxy and back will tell you, it's not easy getting far in the
infamous Intergalactic Hoverboard Challenge.
You may laugh, but few Sapiens have reached the Hall of Fame. Training
on water-based surfaces is no substitute for the real thrill of
hoverboarding. Windsurfing, skiing, skating and scree-riding are all
good for balance training, but they're poor preparation for the
phenomenal speeds attainable on a hoverboard. Sapiens are simply not
considered good contenders; they don't have the right temperment to
take on the best in the hoverboard stakes.
Of course there are exceptions: one in particular, a chap called
Olbane Woldmunsey-Bricket III, caused a sensation several years ago by
actually spelling his name in the wake left behind his board. A real
crowd pleaser.
Don't be put off, but when you're up against things like Cyborgs,
Archeoptra, Ameboids, Thermoids, Mechanoids and Photonians, you've got
to be good. Damn good!
Welcome the the Intergalactic Hoverboard Challenge. You're locked in
an area with a hostile opponent. As you move around you leave a
crystalised wake behind you. So does your opponent. To win you must
force your opponent to make a mistake. Likewise, your opponent will be
looking to sink you. Contact with any wall is a big mistake. First one
to wipe out loses. Hi-ho hoverboard away!
Use these joystick moves to get your hoverboard humming:
Up - forward fast
Up and fire - forward even faster if turbo option fitted to board
Fire - jump
Left - slow left turn
Right - slow right turn
Diagonal left - fast left turn
Diagonal right - fast right turn
Make sure your joystick is plugged into port 1.
