•To move the ball to the left, tilt the console to the left.
•To move the ball to the right, tilt the console to the right.
Helpful Hint: Follow the single line in the middle of the maze to make sure your ball is headed in the right direc- tion.
LIVES
Each player starts the game with three lives. If you do not avoid an obstacle, you will lose one of your lives and start back at the beginning of the maze.
OBSTACLES
As you navigate each maze, you will encounter a number of obstacles. You earn points by closely touching each obstacle. Points will flash for the obstacle if you are suc- cessful. Steering around an obstacle entirely will not earn you points. You will lose one life for each obstacle you do not avoid.
Hole
Press the Jump/Select button to jump over a Hole. If you fall into a Hole, you will lose one life. You must navigate close to a hole to earn points for that hole.
Trap Door
When you first encounter a Trap Door, it may be closed and invisible. You will have to act quickly to avoid falling into a Trap Door as it opens. A Trap Door can be jumped over or rolled over when completely shut.
•Press the Jump/Select button to jump over a Trap Door.
•If you fall into a Trap Door, you will lose one life.
Hint: If you see a break in the single line, it probably indi- cates that a trap door exists.
Conveyor Belt
Conveyor Belts move in one direction, scrolling faster in the higher levels. Once your ball comes into contact with a Conveyor Belt, it becomes very hard to navigate.
Quicksand
When you encounter Quicksand, roll over it quickly or your ball will sink.
