The Silencer must fight ║ ║ ║ ║ creatures that relentlessly attack. Silencer is alone, but is ║ ║ ║ ║ bold and cunning to the end. As Silencer you too must make ║ ║ ║ ║ decisions; to run and hide, or attack. The choice is yours. ║ ║ ║ ║ But remember, the dangers are great, as well as the rewards ║ ║ ║ ║ are high. Just when you think you have them in your grasp... ║ ║ ║ ║ they will turn in many different directions. They too are in ║ ║ ║ ║ it for the thrill. Don't hesitate, time can catch you too. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ SILENCER.HLP - HELP UTILITY 1.0 6-25-91 ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ o GAME ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ The game can be played by one to four players. You may ║ ║ ║ ║ choose your skill level and the amount of time to complete ║ ║ ║ ║ each level. There are fifteen different levels, starting with ║ ║ ║ ║ zero and going up from there. There are seven creatures; ║ ║ ║ ║ each creature has different movements, characteristics, and ║ ║ ║ ║ score values if silenced. See the creature characteristics ║ ║ ║ ║ option on the setup menu for more details. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ The Silencer has five lives to start with; but after 5,000, ║ ║ ║ ║ 10,000, 20,000 and 40,000 points the silencer will receive ║ ║ ║ ║ an extra life. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ SILENCER.HLP - HELP UTILITY 1.0 6-25-91 ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ o GAME - continued ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ The Silencer can be move in any direction by pressing the ║ ║ ║ ║ arrow keys or by using the number keypad.

The Silencer can move blocks that are ║ ║ ║ ║ designated in blue (also known as movable blocks.)
