located in each of the puzzle rooms.
GAME PLAY
Select one of 15 puzzles by pressing the <S>elect Puzzle key.
The puzzle will load itself onto the game board and Mr. Bolo will
then enter the room. To move him around the puzzle, use the
<Arrow Keys>. There are many different objects which he can
use to help him reach the stairs. Each object has different
properties, which you will have to utilize in order to create
his escape. To solve the puzzle, you must come up with a unique
strategy using the objects which are available when the puzzle
begins.
OBJECTS
These are the various objects you might see in the puzzles.
BALLS BOXES CRATES HOLES WATER LASERS WALLS BUTTON(S) STAIRS
There are also some special invisible grills. The grills are not
invisible, but once Mr. Bolo crosses one, he will not be visible
to you on the game board.
BALLS: can be rolled by Mr. Bolo. They can be pushed in front
of lasers, they can float in water, they can ???
