- FULL DOCUMENATION TO BUBBLEGUN

- TYPED UP BY IGGY/HELLFIRE
-
-
- LOADING
-
- Simply switch on your Amiga and insert disc 1 in the internal floppy drive.
- The game will then load.
-
- The Game
-
- You play the part of a crocodile, and your objective is to find your way
- out of each level, eventually wining your freedom. The game contains 40
- levels, and on completion of each level a password is obtained giving
- access to the next level.
-
- On each level, there is an exit gateway which is opened when you pick up the
- exit key. The exit key will normally be well hidden, and the main problem is
- finding it. Once you have the key you just need to walk to the exit to
- complete a level. However, there is a time limit within you must do this,
- and you also lose energy by coming into contact with the other creatures
- inhabiting the level - if you lose all your energy, or run out of time, you
- die and have to start the level again.
-
- In addition to the exit key, there are other objects that can be picked up.
- These are normally shown enclosed in a square, and as such can be easily
- recognised. Below are some of the objects to be found on level 1.
-
- E = EXTRA ENERGY
- -> = DOUBLE SPEED
- T = EXTRA TIME
- I = INVULNERABILITY
-
- There are also chests on the level, which can be opened (by simply walking
- over them) when you hold all three pieces of the key for that chest. This
- reveals the contents of the chest. The chest and key pieces are colour coded
- - to open the chest with the green lock requires you to be holding the three
- pieces of the green key. Note that you can only hold three objects at one
- time, and the three currently in your possession are shown at the top of the
- screen.
-
- It should also be noted that when you pick up the exit key, it disappears -
- you do not carry it around with you - and the words "exit open" are displayed
- at the top of the screen. When "exit open" is displayed, all you have to do
- is walk to the centre of the exit gate to finish the level.
-
- You will also find extra pellets for use in your gun - at the top right of
- the screen the number of pellets you have is shown. As long as you have some
- pellets, you can shoot bubbles at the other creatures - if you hit one, it
- becomes temporarily encased in a bubble, and you must then pop the bubble by
- jumping on it to kill the creature. Stand over the pellets and pull down to
- pick them up.
-
- Picking up pieces of fruit and gems (by walking over them) will give you
- points. Every time you collect 500 points you gain an extra 10 seconds of
- time.
-
- CONTROLS
-
- The game is controlled via a joystick as follows:
- push left/right :run left/right
- push up :jump
- pull down :pick up object (you must be standing over it)
- press fire :fire your bubble gun
-
- keyboard: P (pause on/off), Q (quit when paused).
-

- Exit open/shut: indicates whether or not you have found the exit key.
- Score: Your score!
- Objects held: up to three objects in your possession
- Time: Time left
- Pellets: number of bubble gum pellets for your gun.
-
- SPECIAL FEATURES
-
- Some levels contain doorways that will let you pass through to another
- screen - these are normally indicated by a downward pointing arrow. To pass
- through, stand in the centre of the doorway and pull down on the joystick.
- You will also find pressure pads in the floor which activate barriers,
- location transporters (stand in them and pull down) and spaces across which
- you must build bridges (by collecting the bridge blocks and dropping them at
- the indicated spot).
