- * AQUA MAN DIRECTIONS *
-
-
- Aqua Man is a New Soleau Software Puzzle game in its continuing
- series of Strategy games. The objective is to push various
- shaped pipe links to connect the two storage pumps located on
- the game board.
-
-
- * MOVING AND PUSHING LINKS *
-
- Aqua Man is controlled by the Arrow Keys (up/dwn/rgt/lft).
- A link can be pushed in any direction by your man as long
- as it has an unobstructed path. When pushed, a link will
- continue to move in that direction until either it hits
- another object or reaches the side of the game board.
-
-
- * ROCKS / WHIRLPOOLS / STORAGE PUMPS *
-
- The brown objects located on many puzzle levels are rocks and
- cannot be moved. There are also occasionally two whirlpools
- that can be used in your objective to connect the two storage
- pumps. If you push a link into one of the whirlpools, it will
- emerge from the other whirlpool and continue to slide in the
- same direction until it hits another object. The link will
- be eliminated if it emerges from the whirlpool and is blocked
- by another object. There are also various links which have
- no pipes on them. These will not help you connect the two
- storage pumps, but can be placed so that the other links
- can be properly pushed into the correct positions.
-
- There is at least one solution to each of the 20 puzzles,
- others have several solutions. There are no monsters, clocks,
- or alien ships to contend with, it's just a pure logic game
- which relies totally on your problem solving abilities.
-
-
- * SCORE CARDS *
-
- Aqua Man will allow up to five different players with a personal
- score card. When you solve a puzzle, it will place a <*> after
- the puzzle number showing that you solved that particular puzzle.
- If you seem to be having trouble solving one puzzle, try another
- one and come back to it later. Any of the 20 puzzles can be
- tried, so you DO NOT need to do them in any particular order.
-
-
- * KEYS / OPTIONS *
-
- The keys for all the options are located at the bottom of
- the game board.

- you want him to. This is a great way to see how the game is
- played. However, why let him have all the fun? Try out the
- first few puzzles and if you're really stuck, press the <O>ption
- key and select Solutions. Aqua Man will then do his thing and
- push the various links so that they connect the two storage pumps.
