quite some time. It combines intricate puzzles with straightforward gameplay
in 14 challenging levels.
Getting to grips with the game should be easy. The objective is to clear
levels from crates containing peace-threatening armaments. There are three
types of crates, which only differ in visual appearance. A level consists of a
maze through which you have to push the crates onto disposers, where they are
vaporized. However, this will not always be easy. You cannot push crates
around corners nor can you push more than one crate at a time, and you cannot
pull them back. Although these three limitations alone provide lots of fun
(and frustration), there is another element to the game, the ‘one-way
passages’. You can get onto these passages from only one direction, but move
off them in any direction. It is possible to push crates over these passages,
or leave crates standing on them. There is also an exit on each level (marked
with an E), onto which you should move as soon as you
have disposed of all crates in a level. Note that you can move
and push crates over exits, and move over disposers.
There is a limited take-back move facility, which allows you to take back a
wrong crate push, provided you haven’t moved since the push. Ordinary moves
cannot be taken back.
You score points by finishing a level. The basic score is equal to the number of
disposed crates. You gain more bonus points by making fewer moves.
When completing a level for the first time, you may find that you receive no
bonus at all because you made too many moves. When you play it again, you’ll
know the basic strategy, and may find a shorter route, threreby gaining more
bonus points. There is not necessarily only one way to finish a level.
Truly finishing the game is done by finishing all levels in one run. It is
possible to skip levels you don’t want to play, because you have already
finished the level before, or haven’t solved it yet. Levels are not sorted on
difficulty, so you may find that while one level is very tough, the next is a
doddle.
We guarantee that all levels in the original game can be finished. We cannot
guarantee this for levels created by other people using the level editor.
When passing the last level, 50 extra bonus points are awarded for every level
that you have finished.
