SAVE MARY(TM) (1 PLAYER)

The dastardly Barnaby the Black has taken your beloved Mary and put her at the bottom of a steep canyon. Distraught over her affection for you instead of him, he’s decided no one shall be with her if can’t. With a twist of his handlebar moustache, Barnaby just blew up the nearby damn causing the canyon to rapidly fill with water.

Hurry, The Water Is Rising!

Use your crane to pick up various odd shaped concrete blocks that you must fit together to build a platform by dropping them in to the water below. Take special care when dropping blocks not to hit Mary or it's game over.

Further complicating things is that Mary appears to have started panicking is running back and forth around the platform begging you to help her. Also, be sure to watch out for low flying airplanes. If the plane hits your crane you will automatically drop the block you're carrying (possibly squishing Mary).

Thankfully there are several power-ups to help you accomplish your task. Power-ups appear on the cliff sides and require that you pick them up and drop them off at the top of the canyon to activate them. These power-ups do a wide variety of things:

The Plug

Stops the water from rising for a few seconds

Stop Sign

Makes Mary stop moving around

Oil Can

Makes your crane move faster

Gold Block

Makes Mary invincible to being squished by falling blocks

Number

Gives you bonus points

Mary Figure

Gives you extra life

Controls

Your Joysticks is used to select all skill levels and start the game. At the title screen, press your joystick up or down to highlight the desired skill level and press your fire button to start.

During the game, press your Joystick right or left to move the crane right or left along its rails. Press your joystick up or down to lower the crane.

To pick up an object (including Mary) make sure your crane’s hook is at the same level as the desired object. Moving the crane on the object and pressing the fire button picks up the object, keeping the fire button pressed allows you to hold on to the object and move it, and releasing the fire button drops the object.

Scoring

Scores are generated by successfully dropping and positioning the concrete blocks, with bonus points counted for how many slabs you’ve successfully stacked by the end of the game.

Slabs

50 points

Pylons

100 points

Multi-Pylons

150 points

Points awarded increase by 50 points by each level.
