 REVOLUTION

 Vortex 1986



 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 AIM : To reach Level 8 and beyond...



 GAMEPLAY : You must solve the four puzzles on each level and return

successfully to the elevator within the time limit displayed. You will

then be transported to the next level and awarded an extra life (to a

maximum of five lives).



 Within each puzzle are two grey blocks of matter. Touch one and it

becomes unstable for a short period of time. If within that time the

second block is touched, then both blocks will vapourise. There are

several ways to solve each puzzle. However, as you progress through

the stack of levels the unstable period becomes shorter. The

solutions therefore become fewer and fewer.



 MAP SCREEN : The Map Screen displays the following :

 1. Level of achievement.

 2. Number of lives remaining.

 3. Location of puzzles yet to be solved.

 4. Current location.



 BALL CONTROL:

 1. Directional control - the direction of the ball cannot be changed

   in mid-flight. It can only be altered on contact with the ground or

   other objects.

 2. Bounce energy - the top half of the on-screen meter indicates the

   present bounce energy of the ball. This determines the height at

   which the ball can bounce. The lower half of the on-screen meter

   indicates the desired energy setting. This can be changed by

   holding down the fire button or appropriate key until the required

   energy setting is reached. Release to activate the new setting.



 COMMENTS : "An unusual and good looking game that provides a real

challenge."

 RATING : 91% (CRASH #33, October 1986)
