- ROCK MAN DIRECTIONS
- _______________________
-
-
- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Rock Man is to collect all the Pink Moths
- located in each puzzle. Once gathered, Rock Man must then
- reach the Red Flag to solve the puzzle.
-
-
-
- SELECTING PUZZLE
-
- Select a puzzle room by pressing the <N>ew Puzzle key. Using
- your <Arrow Keys>, select the puzzle you want and then press
- the <Enter> key to load that puzzle onto the game board.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- When the puzzle is loaded you move Rock Man by using the
- <Arrow Keys>. Rock Man can jump up only one rock at a time,
- so you will have to use your ingenuity to make it possible for
- him to capture all the rare moths scattered around the puzzle.
- Once collected the Blue Flag located somewhere in the puzzle
- will turn to Red. This means that Rock Man must somehow reach
- the Red Flag in order to consider the puzzle solved.
-
-
- OBJECTS
-
- Green Rocks: Rock Man can push these in any direction.
-
- Gray Rocks : Rock Man cannot move these.
-
- Red Rocks : Lava Rocks are DANGEROUS if Rock Man steps on them.
-
- Pink Moths : Rock Man must collect all these before reaching
- flag.
-
- Pick Axe : Rock Man can use these to obliterate any green
- rock, provided that he is not on a rope or ladder.
- To use a Pick Axe, face in the direction of the
- green rock and then push the letter <P>.
-
- Rope : Rock Man can use these to help him climb higher.
- He cannot use a Pick Axe or push any green rocks
- while climbing on the rope. To use a Rope push the
- letter <R>. The rope will rise above Rock Man
- until it either hits an object or the top of the
- game board.
-
- Ladders : These rope ladders have been left by previous
- climbers. He can use these to climb up or down.
- He cannot use pick axes or ropes while on the
- ladder. He can push green rocks while on ladder.
-
- Bridges : These bridges will allow Rock Man to cross over
- them only once. After he has passed over them, they
- will crumble and disappear from the game board.
-
- Smaller Green : These smaller green pebble rocks are unstable and
- Pebble Rocks will crash down on Rock Man if he walks under
- them. They will not fall on him if there is an
- object between him and these pebble rocks...this
- includes, moths, picks, and rocks.
-
- Blue Flag : The Flag located on the game board will remain blue
- until all the moths have been collected. Once all
- the moths are gathered, it will then change to red.
-
- Red Flag : This is Rock Man's final objective once all the
- moths have been collected.
-
-
-
- JUMPING
-
- Rock Man will jump in the direction he is facing when you press
- the <Up Arrow> key. If Rock Man is at the side of the game
- board, he cannot jump up unless he is facing away from the edge
- of the board.
