Can you help Jake and Jobe out of
their latest predicament? The "Jinxes"
have landed themselves in the Kings'
dungeons, just three days before the
start of Winternight, the largest
communion of Jesters and the like in
Elmora.
In the deepest dungeon, 25 levels
down Jake and Jobe have only the
bombs they use to juggle and whatever
they can find to help them to escape.
They aren't completely alone, a
selection of cast off toys, once
belonging to the young King will
either help or hinder them. Every
object in the dungeons has special
qualities and move in their own way.
You will find teddy bears, exploding
bottles, rockets and other strange
objects scattered around. It is up to
you to decide how to use them. The
dungeons aren't locked as such, due to
the Kings odd sense of humour.
A varying number of crystals need
collecting from each dungeon. Once
collected, guide Jake or Jobe to the
Exit.
In the game you can swap control to
either Jake or Jobe by pressing fire.
Look out for rubber ducks that shoot
across the dungeon, balls that bounce,
teddies that can be pushed, rockets
that can be lauched and explosive
bottles. If an object hits Jake or
Jobe or they are caught in an
explosion, they lose a life and the
level must be replayed. If an object
hits an explosive bottle, BOOM.
everything close is destroyed. The
only thing that isn't vunerable are
the walls, so don't go blowing up any
diamonds or the exit! You need to
collect ALL the diamonds before you
can leave a level.
For each level you are allowed a
varying number of "steps" and these
decrease every time you move, when you
run out you lose a life and start the
level again!
Look out for blocks with arrows on,
you and other objects can only pass
though these in the direction of the
arrows, either up/down or left/right.
Above all, experiment. Have a play
around pushing different blocks around
and see what happens. Some crystals
may be "trapped" by other objects and
you will have to find a way of getting
to them safely.
When you complete a level you are
asked if you wish to save your current
position, if you have lost a lot of
lives on the last level, you may want
to just try the next level or so and
come back later with a few more lives.
During the game, you can set off one
of the bombs you carry, (the number
you have is displayed on the right of
the screen.) Press space and an
explosion will occur around you, you
are safe from this but your other
player isn't. So get him out of the
way before you do anything drastic!
If you find yourself "trapped" or have
blown up a diamond or the exit or in
anyway are unable to complete a level,
you can press "Escape" to escape the
level, this costs a life and you can
try again.
You can pick up extra bombs, lives,
and bonus blocks which reset your
"steps" to full.
You must collect all diamonds to leave
a level
Only one player needs to walk through
the exit
Bottles explode when an object hits it
Rockets travel up the screen and
explode when they hit an object
Press FIRE to toggle control of Jake
or Jobe
Press ESCAPE in the game to escape a
level if you can no longer complete it
Press SPACE to use a bomb
Only use bombs when absolutely
nessesary as they are in very limited
supply.
Think about what will happen before
pushing something!
Hope you enjoy the game!
