Registering
removes the delay when running Bzzz, and gives you the happy satisfaction
of knowing you've supported Shareware!
Installing the game |
The .prc file needs to be installed on your Palm or compatible handheld. Firstly, locate and start up the 'Palm Installer' program. On Windows this is in the 'Palm Desktop' menu in 'Programs' on the Start Menu. Using the Palm Installer program, select the .prc file. Put your handheld in its cradle (or use a HotSync cable) and press the HotSync button. During the HotSync, the Bzzz game will be transferred to your handheld and will be available from the menu when you press the applications button. Tap the Bzzz icon, and you're in the game!
To
start a game of Bzzz, simply tap the screen !
Playing Bzzz! |
The controls couldn't be easier - tap on the screen where you'd like to shoot out your tongue to catch a fly! Aim just a little way ahead, and you should catch plenty! Beware, though, leave them too long on screen, and they'll turn angry, and dive bomb you! ( Knocking just a few points off your Happy-o-meter)
Catch all the flies on screen, and some more will bzzz in from the sides - smack your lips and get fly-catching!
Watch
out for later levels - nasty wasps might drift in! Catch one of these,
and you won't be able to recoil your tongue! It'll take a few seconds to
unstick it - and those pesky flies will just jump at the chance to bite
you when you're unarmed!
Registering |
If you decide that you would like to keep Bzzz on your palm, then you should register within approximately one month. Registration is available online at the Astraware Bzzz registration page. Registrations for Bzzz cost $5, and your key will remain valid for future upgrades.
If you wish to send us a cheque (or a check), then email first so that we can advise on the most secure method.
The
more times you play Bzzz before you register, the longer the pause at the
start of each game will be. You'll get 20 games 'for free' - we're hoping
you'll get hooked, and want to keep the game on your Palm!
