Then follow the instruction. 2.2 Bug Reporting Though we've tried our best to squash all the bugs, every once in a while something we didn't expect pops up. If you should come across a bug in the game, please report it on this page: http://www.flyordie.com/servlet/submitBug.html ================ 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS ================ 3.1 GOAL The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by collecting gems. For this you walk on a map from cave to cave and pick up enough gems so that the gate opens and you can exit the cave. Beware in the meantime because various enemies are hindering your task. 3.2 CONTROLS Use the NAVIGATION KEYS to move around on the map and in the caves. To enter a cave on the map press SPACE. Try also the SPACE + NAVIGATION KEY combination (hold SPACE while pressing a NAVIGATION key), you can for example pick up items by standing next to them and using this combination. 3.3 HINTS You can get a Hint at any time by moving the mouse over the ? (Help) icon on the menu bar. A bubble help will popup and give you some directions for the current cave. 3.4 OPTIONS You can adjust the volume of sound and the extent to which sound effects and background music should be mixed. You can also toggle between full-screen and windowed mode, and between fast and smooth screen scrolling - depending on your preference. From the Options screen you can also start the High Scores dialog box. 3.5 BEAT THE GAME You have beaten the game when all caves are conquered. To conquer a cave it's not always enough to collect enough gems to open the gate and to get out. In some caves you need to collect more gems than that. In these caves the gem counter on the menu bar will start counting again after the gate is open - now the counter is red and there is a + (plus) sign before the counter to indicate that these gems are needed in addition to the normal amount in order to conquer the cave. 3.6 EXIT THE GAME To exit the game, press ALT+F4 or click on the X button in the top right corner of the window. Alternatively you can select Exit in the Options dialog box (click on the Options menu bar icon to open it). ============ 4.0 PURCHASE ============ If you enjoy playing the Trial version of FlyOrDie GemJam Gold, sooner or later you'll feel a strong urge to purchase the Full version! 4.1 BENEFITS OF PURCHASING THE FULL VERSION When you purchase the Full version, you get access to all 60 levels and the full Tutorial instead of the few levels available in the Trial.
