- HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
-
- Be sure to read the tips.txt file also, in which you can read two useful
- pieces of advice for playing.
-
- You have to ride a motorbike and complete the various stages. You can get to
- the next level only by completing the previous one successfully. You can skip
- two levels altogether, but you can complete a previously skipped level later.
- You can choose to play on any of the levels you have previously completed.
- For all stages the best six times are recorded along with the name of the
- player. The levels become progressively more and more difficult to complete.
-
- To control your motorbike while playing, you can push the following keys:
-
- UP arrow: accelerate (this puts a constant degree of force on the rear wheel).
- DOWN arrow: block both wheels.
- RIGHT arrow: turn the bike clock-wise.
- LEFT arrow: turn the bike anticlock-wise.
- SPACE: turns your bike around so you can go in the opposite direction.
-
- During the various stages there are several objects that appear on the screen.
- You can contact an object by touching it with your helmet or any of your wheels.
- The three different object types are:
-
- FOOD object: You have to touch all of these before you can accomplish a level.
- If you touch it, it will disappear.
- KILLER object: You will die if you touch it.
- EXIT object: You can finish the level by touching it. (It works only if you
- have already collected all of the food objects). The exit object is
- a flower.
