- Can you help Jake and Jobe out of
- their latest predicament? The "Jinxes"
- have landed themselves in the Kings'
- dungeons, just three days before the
- start of Winternight, the largest
- communion of Jesters and the like in
- Elmora.
-
- In the deepest dungeon, 25 levels
- down Jake and Jobe have only the
- bombs they use to juggle and whatever
- they can find to help them to escape.
-
- They aren't completely alone, a
- selection of cast off toys, once
- belonging to the young King will
- either help or hinder them. Every
- object in the dungeons has special
- qualities and move in their own way.
- You will find teddy bears, exploding
- bottles, rockets and other strange
- objects scattered around. It is up to
- you to decide how to use them. The
- dungeons aren't locked as such, due to
- the Kings odd sense of humour.
- A varying number of crystals need
- collecting from each dungeon. Once
- collected, guide Jake or Jobe to the
- Exit.
-
- In the game you can swap control to
- either Jake or Jobe by pressing fire.
- Look out for rubber ducks that shoot
- across the dungeon, balls that bounce,
- teddies that can be pushed, rockets
- that can be lauched and explosive
- bottles. If an object hits Jake or
- Jobe or they are caught in an
- explosion, they lose a life and the
- level must be replayed. If an object
- hits an explosive bottle, BOOM.
- everything close is destroyed. The
- only thing that isn't vunerable are
- the walls, so don't go blowing up any
- diamonds or the exit! You need to
- collect ALL the diamonds before you
- can leave a level.
-
- For each level you are allowed a
- varying number of "steps" and these
- decrease every time you move, when you
- run out you lose a life and start the
- level again!
- Look out for blocks with arrows on,
- you and other objects can only pass
- though these in the direction of the
- arrows, either up/down or left/right.
-
- Above all, experiment. Have a play
- around pushing different blocks around
- and see what happens. Some crystals
- may be "trapped" by other objects and
- you will have to find a way of getting
- to them safely.
-
- When you complete a level you are
- asked if you wish to save your current
- position, if you have lost a lot of
- lives on the last level, you may want
- to just try the next level or so and
- come back later with a few more lives.
- During the game, you can set off one
- of the bombs you carry, (the number
- you have is displayed on the right of
- the screen.) Press space and an
- explosion will occur around you, you
- are safe from this but your other
- player isn't. So get him out of the
- way before you do anything drastic!
-
- If you find yourself "trapped" or have
- blown up a diamond or the exit or in
- anyway are unable to complete a level,
- you can press "Escape" to escape the
- level, this costs a life and you can
- try again.
-
- You can pick up extra bombs, lives,
- and bonus blocks which reset your
- "steps" to full.
-
- You must collect all diamonds to leave
- a level
-
- Only one player needs to walk through
- the exit
- Bottles explode when an object hits it
-
- Rockets travel up the screen and
- explode when they hit an object
-
- Press FIRE to toggle control of Jake
- or Jobe
-
- Press ESCAPE in the game to escape a
- level if you can no longer complete it
-
- Press SPACE to use a bomb
-
- Only use bombs when absolutely
- nessesary as they are in very limited
- supply.
-
- Think about what will happen before
- pushing something!
-
- Hope you enjoy the game!
