- _ LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
- _ //
- AMIGA \X/
-
-
- 1> Insert disk 1 into the internal drive and turn on your Amiga.
- 2> Insert disk 2 into any external drive if you have one.
- 3> If you do not have an external disk drive, insert disk 2 when prompted
- and press the fire button on your joystick to load the game.
-
- By now you will already met our friend Pob and seen his relatively good day
- turned into a very bad one indeed. Not only has he been turned into a
- bouncing head but is also transported into an incredfble world where
- insanity and gravity seem to have taken a back seat. Looks like you've done
- it this time. Pob!
-
- It seems Pob's only chance of escape is to play the wizards crazy game.
- Unfortunately, he has made Pob's task extremely difficult by interfering with
- the gravity pull in this strange maze like world.
-
- Playing the part of Pob. It is your task to roll and bounce around each
- level, of which there are 100, collecting the precious coins that will allow
- you the chance to escape. This is made more difficult by the constantly
- changing gravity and the nasties that inhabit this world.
-
- PLAYING THE GAME
-
- Before entering the level you will be presented with a map showing the maze,
- the locations and the position of all the coins. Press fire to play the
- level.
-
- At the bottom of the screen is the status panel which shows information about
- your progress. The displays indicate your score, time remaining(indicated by
- Pob's head which turns from pink to green as time elapses), gravity direction,
- the amount of coins remaining in-the-level and the amount of coins collected
- indicated by a money bag which grows in size accordingly. Once all the coins
- have been collected you must guide Pob over to the exit which turns into a
- solid circle. If the timer reaches zero before Pob has collected all the
- coins his head at the bottom will throw up and Pob will die.
-
- The wizard has filled each level with plenty of obstacles and nasties which
- will hinder your progress. These include gravity swappers, fans, springs,
- breakable wall blocks and other fiendish objects. Nasties include killer
- balls, plungers and spinnythings which will kill Pob if he touches them! Some
- of the objects, such as the rotating spikes will also reduce Pob's coin. If
- Pob's coins reach zero, Pob will, snivel, die.
-
- Fortunately, the wizard has also complemented each level with bonus icons
- which you can collect by rolling Pob over them. These will enhance or
- hinder Pobs movements in several different ways and are explained further
- on, along with the nasties and objects.
-
- CONTROLLING POB
-
- Control of Pob is through the joystick. Left/Right rotate the play area
- accordingly allowing Pob to roll and fire bounces Pob giving him the
- ability to negotiate direction and pulling down with left/right rotates the
- play field at break neck speed. Pressing the P key pauses the game at any
- time.
-

- Diagonal down/left |Roll very fast left

- Diagonal up/left |Roll fast left
-
- P - Pause the game
-
- The first 25 levels of the game are trainer levels which will allow you to
- become accustomed to controlling Pob and the effects of the various
- collectable icons. The nasties will appear later on. As you progress, the
- levels will become increasingly harder and you will eventually be joined by
- Pob's body - The body ball which you will also have to guide through the
- exit along with pob.
