TIPS
FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE CONTROLS. PRACTICE ALL THE MOVEMENTS AND THE

SEVERAL TIMES YOU NEED ONLY PRESS THE FIRE BUTTON AGAIN WHILST PULLING
DOWN ON THE JOSYTICK. IF VALDYN HITS HIS OPPENENT, VALDYN IS CATAPULTED
UPWARDS.
ON EACH LEVEL THERE ARE HIDDEN THINGS WHICH MAKE THE TASK EASIER FOR YOU.
ON MOST LEVEL THERE IS ALSO A SECRET AREA WHICH IS VERY CAREFULLY CONCEALED.
IF YOU CAN'T PROGRESS ON ONE LEVEL, SEARCH THROUGH THE PREVIOUS LEVELS IN CASE
YOU MISSED THEBONUS POINTS WHICH WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO PROGRESS.
NOTE THAT VALDYN ALWWAYS RUNS FASTER UP OR DOWN SLOPES. THIS FACT CAN BE USED
TO MAKE HIM JUMP FURTHER.
VALDYN IS A MEMBER OF THE CAT PEOPLE RACE. IF HE HAS TO CROSS A RIVER OR GET
THROUGH A FLOODED PASSAGEWAY YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT HE CANNOT SWIM. FOR
THIS REASON, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU ALWAYS KEEP HIS HEAD ABOVE WATER.
MANY OF THE PLATTFORMS VALDYN MUST STAND ON DURING HIS TRAVELS CAN BE MADE TO
MOVE LIKE SWINGS. PULL THE STICK DOWN DURING THE SWIMMING TO INCREASE ITS
MOVEMENTS. MOVE THE STICK UP TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF SWING.
BY THE WAY.... IN MODUS 'HARD' YOU WILL NOT ONLY ATTACKED BY HARDER ENEMIES;
WE ALSO CHANGED THE LEVELS ITSELF. THAT MEANS, THAT YOU HAVE GOT TWO GAMES
IN ONE.
HAVE FUN WHILE PLAYING THE GAME ......
