- ABSTRACT: Welcome to "Blob Kombat", a simple, yet addictive, game which
- ~~~~~~~~ requires only one or two friends and an AMIGA 1200. We hope you

- long, hot summer of 1995.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo

- oOoOoOoOoOo
-
- LOADING THE GAME: To play "Blob Kombat" all you have to do is double-click
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ on the "Play!" icon. The game should load without any
- fuss. If it doesn't, then it is likely that you have a dodgy copy.
- REMEMBER: This game will only work on AMIGA 1200 and 4000 machines.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo
-
- GAME OPTIONS: Selectable from the main menu, Game Options is used to
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ alter the number of players and how they are controlled.
- The purple blob is player one and is always controlled through joystick 1.
- The green blob is player two and is always controlled by joystick 2 (the
- mouse port). The red blob is player three and is always controlled by the
- keyboard. You can switch any of these players on and off at will from this
- menu, but you can only exit if one or none of them is switched off. "Blob
- Kombat" is a two or three player game. The default setting is joystick 1
- and the keyboard players switched on and the joystick 0 player switched
- off. You can also alter the number of lives your blob starts with. This is
- restricted to between 3 and 9 lives.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo
-
- PLAYING THE GAME: The aim of the game is simple. You are a blob who must
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fight for your life in an arena against other blobs. To
- kill the other blobs you must jump onto their eyes and squash them. Upto
- three blobs may fight in the arena at once. The game allows for two
- players on joysticks and one player on keys. The controls are simple:
- left and right move you left and right and fire makes you jump. If you
- hold down fire you can jump higher than if you tap it. When you die, the
- number of lives you have decreases. When your lives reach zero you are
- out of the game. The game continues until only one blob is left in the
- arena. After you die, if you have lives remaining, you are teleported back
- into the arena to continue fighting. You will be invincible for a short
- while.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo
-
- POWER-UPS: Sometimes during play, a power-up token will appear. Grab the
- ~~~~~~~~~ token and it will affect either you or your opponents. The
- power-ups available are colour-coded:
-
- EXTRA LIFE (Blue) - adds one to your lives. NOTE: You cannot have more
- than nine lives.
- SLOW DOWN (Green) - slows your opponents down and makes them easier to
- catch.
- BIG JUMP (Red) - makes you jump higher.
- INVINCIBILITY (Orange) - makes you invincible for a short period. While
- you are invincible the other blobs will simply
- bounce off your head.
- FREEZE (Purple) - turns the other blobs to stone
- WINGS (Grey) - you sprout wings and gain the ability to fly.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo
-
- LOADING ARENAS: In the full game you can load from 20 arenas that we have
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ provided, and design your own with the Editor. However in
- this demo release, you can only play one level and the LOAD ARENA function
- on the main menu has been disabled.
-
- oOoOoOoOoOo
