How To Play
Spell out the nine required words before the timer runs out.
There's a 10th Bonus Word that you have to figure out.
You'll be given a clue at the beginning of the puzzle.
How to Move Around
Use the Arrow Keys to drive the ball around the puzzle.
Flingers will throw your ball 1, 2 or 3 spaces
They'll throw you in the direction that they are pointing.
Teleporters help bridge the gaps
Pressing the Space Bar while sitting on one of these takes you
to another of the same color.
The ball will collect letters it rolls over.
Each letter the ball rolls over is added to the Letter Rack.
When the letters in the rack spell one of the nine words,
they are removed.
For Example, adding a
to the above rack would remove the word "Flood" because it is one of the required words.
Leaving...
Don't worry, the Letter Rack can't get full.
Each new letter pushes one of the
old letters off.
Spelling out a required word a second time will remove the letters from the rack,
but will not give you additional points.

The Scoreboard
Hints
|
There may be more than one way to spell a word. Look for the way that makes the most points. Letters are removed from the rack each time you spell one of the required words -- even though you don't get more points. You may need to spell a "word within a word." In Mexican Pet you must spell RAT inside of DOG to successfully spell DOG. ( D-RAT-OG ) Sometimes, you might have to sacrifice a life to spell all the words. |
