MICE MAZE GAME DIRECTIONS
_________________________
OBJECTIVE
The objective of Mice Maze is to find and rescue your friend
the Red Mouse, trapped somewhere in this puzzle maze.
GAME PLAY
In this adventure strategy game, you will be represented
by the Blue Mouse. At the start of a new game you will
be put into a puzzle maze which consists of 36 rooms.
Use the < Arrow Keys > to move your mouse about each room.
There are mouse doors on the side of the room which will
allow you to exit the room and move into a new one.
When you enter a new room, a map will pop up on the game
board to help identify your location. You can also press
the <M>ap key to see the map at anytime during the game.
The present room number is displayed to the right of the
game board below the picture of the seated mouse.
STORY LINE
Your first objective will be to acquire 10,000 points.
When you reach the 10,000 point mark you will be given
an extra life and also further instructions on how to
find your friend the Red Mouse. The adventure would not
be an adventure if I told you what twists and turns this
puzzle will take... you'll have to discover that for yourself.
OBJECTS
CHEESE: Your mouse needs cheese for strength, so grab these
whenever you can. If you run out of cheese the game will
be over no matter how many lives you have left. Every 20
moves of your mouse or when you exit a room, one cheese
will be subtracted from your cheese total.
GRILLS: These circular grills are immovable and cannot be blasted
or removed with bombs.
CANS: There are green cans located in most of the rooms. These
cans give you extra points if you can reach them.
CATS: In each of the rooms, there are cats on the prowl. The
light yellow cats are slower and the purple cats are much
faster. If you get caught by a cat, you will lose one life.
TRAPPING
THE CATS: You can eliminate the cats from the room by pushing the
blocks to surround them. If you can push the blocks in
such a way as the cat has no where to move, then it will
be removed and a an extra cheese will be placed somewhere
in the room. If two cats are trapped together then they
will not be removed. You must trap them individually.
Once you leave a room, all the cats you trapped earlier
will reappear again the next time you enter that room.
BOMBS: These bombs are used to blast through the blocks. To
activate a bomb, press the < SPACE BAR > and then press
the < Arrow Key > to signify where you want to throw the bomb.
HOLES: In many of the rooms there are mouse holes that you can go
into. Sometimes you'll find extra items like cheese and
bombs, but other times you'll find nothing. Beware... you
can also drop some items when going into these holes.
SCORING
CHEESE: 50 POINTS (1 cheese found = 3 cheeses)
BOMB: 60 POINTS (1 bomb found = 2 bombs)
CAN: 50 POINTS
1ST TRAPPED CAT: 75 POINTS
2ND TRAPPED CAT: 150 POINTS
3RD TRAPPED CAT: 225 POINTS
4TH TRAPPED CAT: 300 POINTS
EVERY 10,000 POINTS : EXTRA LIFE
CONCLUSION
As you play the game you'll find you will be searching for special
keys, hidden doors, secret passageways and much more. Are you up
for a challenge? Go to it and see if you can rescue your friend...
he's/she's counting on you!
