- STORY SO FAR:
- ===================
- For centuries, the elves lived in peace, farming, raising families and living
- life day by day. Then, one day the evil Gargoyle Empire invaded the peaceful
- village, stealing all the gold and jewels from the elves, leaving them in
- destitution. The elves became prisoners in their own village, for the
- Gargoyles guarded the outskirts of the village, never allowing the elves
- to leave. The Gargoyles had also invaded the King's castle, becoming rulers
- of the small country. Desperate, the elves called upon you to help them
- regain control of their castle and their gold.
-
-
- OBJECTIVES:
- ===================
- Gargoyle:
- As the elves attempt to recapture the gold in the castle, the Gargoyles drop
- deadly firebombs. The elves must carefully maneuver buckets of water to
- catch and extinguish all firebombs to save the village from burning. However,
- they must also take precaution as to not catch the falling rocks. The rocks
- cause the buckets to shrink to half their original size! On the other hand,
- if the elves catch the falling rubies, their buckets grow to twice their
- original size.
-
- Goal: Help the elves get all the way to the throne room and reclaim their gold.
