- Blobby2 (v1.0) by David Johnston of ARM'd & Dangerous
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- The game
- --------
-
- You must guide Blobby through each of the 8 levels to the flagpole at the
- end of the level. The screen constantly scrolls upwards and gets faster as
- the level progresses. You have 10 lives and you may lose a life if you
- allow yourself to fall off the bottom of the screen or hit an enemy.
-
- There are 3 different types of enemy. There are mutated slinkys that roam
- back and forth, flame throwers that launch flames up from the ground and
- also rotating flamers that spray flame round in a circular motion.
-
- In order to help you through the level there are 3 different types of power
- up.
-
- 1 - There are freeze icons that will make the enemies on screen disappear
- for a certain amount of time. If you collect one of these icons a
- bar will appear on the left-hand side of the screen and slowly decrease.
- When this reaches the base of the screen the enemies will reappear.
-
- 2 - Hold icons will make the screen stop scrolling for a while.
-
- 3 - If you collect a hyper-blobby icon then you will be able to move
- twice as fast for the rest of the level.
-
-
- The keys
- --------
-
- Z - Left
-
- X - Right
-
- Return - Jump / Float
-
- Q - Sound off
-
- S - Sound on
-
-
- When you jump blobby will leap straight up into the air and when he hits
- something will start to fall back down. If you hit return while he is
- falling back down you will float down slowly enabling you to jump over
- slinkys more easily.
-
-
- ARM 2 machines
- --------------
-
- Blobby2 runs slowly on ARM 2 machines with the sound on so if you are
- using an ARM 2 machine then switch the sound off whilst playing the
- game.
