CONTROLS

Defineable.  Also auto-detects kempston joystick for the

movement, but if you have an emulator that uses keys for the

joystick make sure that the game keys are different from the

joystick keys.



DESCRIPTION

Similar to various other games called "Panic".  A platform game.



INSTRUCTIONS

Your man can dig holes or fill them in.  The object is to make

the aliens fall into holes and then fill the holes in before the

aliens climb out again.  The red ones are easy to kill, but the

brighter colours need to fall further.  The most dangerous are

the white ones; you need to trap these on the top level then dig

holes in the three levels directly underneath it before filling

the top one in.  If you like you can jump through the holes as

a quick alternative to going down a ladder.



      

CHEATS

If an alien falls into a hole and you are short of time, press

the "dig" key.  Another alien can then fall in or you can jump

down without being killed.  Note that you still have to fill it

in eventually though.  If there are two aliens in a hole then you

have to fill, dig and fill again.
