There are four types of weapons in Escape! They are as follows:
1. Perimeter Weapon: This will kill every KILLER ROBOT in each square surrounding you.
2. Anti-Killer mine: If a KILLER ROBOT hits one of these, he will be killed. You cannot be hurt by one, so to pick one up, just step on it. To set a mine in the spot you are currently standing, use the 'Drop Mine' option from the 'Movement' menu. Dropping a mine does not take a turn, so you can drop one and then move!
3. Long Range Weapon: This weapon is awesome! It will destroy everything in its path! Once you select the 'Fire Long Range Weapon' option from the 'Movement' menu you will notice that the hero is blinking. You are to aim the weapon (using the Movement keys or the mouse) to fire it! Using the no movement key or clicking on the Hero will cancel the weapon.
4. Sizzle Bomb: Use this devastating weapon to destroy every KILLER ROBOT on the level.
To use any weapon you can select the appropriate menu item from the “Movement” menu, you can type the key for that weapon or you can click on the numbered square (next to the weapon you wish to use) in the lower right of the window.
