The registered versions features 29 levels with more levels to arrive (by me or the users themselves). Registration can be done securely and safely online with Palmgear at http://www.palmgear.com Handango at http://www.handango.com For other ways of registering please go to my website at http://www.geocities.com/ralf_brese or email me at ralf_brese@yahoo.com Introduction: _____________ PWilly is a classical platform Run'N'Jump game. You have collect all the flashing items in the level. After you have collect all items the exit will begin to flash. You can then use the exit to advance to the next level. You have to avoid collision with some obstacles and enemies. If you touch them you will lose a life. Use of Keyboard/pen/... _______________________ Use the hardkeys to navigate Willy around the level. PWilly supports the WorldwideWidgetWorks Gamepad. In the main menu and the option menu you can make your selections using the hardkeys and using the pen. The Menus _________ In the main menu you can select your player the level set and you can resume games or start a new one. From the main menu you can open the options menu in which you can select the amplitude of the sound an music and see some registration info. From within the game you can press the menu icon to open the main menu at any time. You have 4 different players. For each player the current level and number of lifes left in each level set is stored. So if you leave the game you can resume the game at the same level you left it. If you do not change the player or level set you will even resume the level at the place you left it. If you select another level set with the same player and you resume the game, the level of the level set you played before will be remembered. I'll give you an example: You played "level set a" and reached level 4 with 3 lifes left. Then you open the main menu and you select "level set b" and "resume game". You will start with the first level in this level set and with the initial number of 6 lifes. You advance to level 2 with 6 lifes left. Then you leave the game. Next time you start the game you select "level set a" and "resume game" you will then be back at level 4 with 3 lifes left. If you select "New Game" all level sets of the current player will be set back to the first level (so be careful with this button). The Game: _________ Use the following keys: Datebook - left Phonebook - right Up - Up (on ladders or in Underwater-Levels) Down - Down (on ladders or in Underwater-Levels) To Do List - Jump Memo pad - Jump Avoid any of the moving enemies (you have no friends) and avoid the obstacles like cactus, spikes, ... Collect all of the flashing items. In the upper status line you see how many you have collected and how much are missing. The upper status line also shows the time that is left to finish the current level. The lower status line shows the current level set (they are numbered in alphabetical order; so "level set 0" is 0, "level set a" is 1, ...) and the current level within the level set you are playing. The lower status line shows also the number of lifes left.
