- LoadRunner for PalmOS (c) 1999, Aaron Ardiri
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- THE GAME:
- =========
-
- Your an imperial agent, codenamed: "LoadRunner".
-
- Your task is to recover the treasure stolen by the Dark Forces. The
- stolen gold is being closely guarded by the Dark Forces robots, the
- Spereoids.
-
- Armed with a digging vaporizer and your wits, you set forth on your
- mission.
-
- Tips:
- -----
-
- When you dig a hole with your vaporizer; you can safely fall through
- to the ground below, but if a Spereoid chasing you falls into the
- hole; they will get stuck.
-
- You may safely stand on a Spereiods head; getting on top can be
- difficult.
-
- The Spereiods can only carry one treasure, and a level is not over
- until you get all of it. To get treasure off a Spereiod, you must
- trap them in a hole. The treasure will appear above them.
-
- Just because it looks solid, it does not mean it is. Regular bricks
- can contain trap doors.
-
- Not all bricks can be vaporized; solid bricks and trap doors may not
- be vaporized.
-
- After all the treasure is collected, you need to climb to the top of
- the level to continue to the next.
-
- If a Spereiods comes in contact with you, you die, and the level
- restarts.
-
- Controls:
- ---------
-
- There are two modes of control for your runner:
-
- KEYS: Use the six keys on your Pilot to control your runner
- (configurable). The keys allow you to move the runner and
- dig holes to trap guards.
-
- STYLUS: Tapping a point on the screen will make the runner run
- to that location (if possible). To dig holes, the user
- must tap the area where the hole should be dug.
-
- The [MENU] button terminates the current game.
- The [FIND] button aborts the current life.
