DYNAMATE INSTRUCTIONS
This is the instructions that also can be found in the game.
When you start the game move your joystick up or down to select
different functions. To choose the selected function press your
joystickbutton.
You can choose between these functions:
PASSWORD
Allows you to change the current password. Type in the password using
the keyboard, then press <RETURN>.
INFO
This will show you the game instructions.
QUIT
Will end the game and return to dos/workbench.
START!
When you start the game a black "cursor" and a couple of pieces will
appear. Some of the pieces are movable and some are not.
To move a piece, place the cursor over the piece, press the button, keep
it pressed and pull the joystick in the direction you want the piece to
go.
The game is divided in many different puzzles. To complete a puzzle you
must explode all bombs by sending the right pieces on eachother.
These are the different pieces:
MOVABLE: Bombs, Teleports and Lightgrey pieces
UNMOVABLE: Darkgrey pieces, singlemovers and extratimers
The movable pieces will slide until they stop toward something while the
unmovable pieces are unmovable (surprise?).
The darkgrey pieces:
These pieces you can't move or destroy in any way, but make other pieces
stop.
The lightgrey pieces:
These pieces you can move but not destroy. You can't explode any bombs
with them either.
Extratimers:
Sending a bomb at it will make it disappear and you'll get extratime.
Singlemovers:
Sending a bomb on one of these will make the cursor grey. In the
following three or five moves you can only move the pieces one step per
move. The pieces won't slide away.
Teleports:
The teleports works in pairs only. If you send a piece into one of the
teleports it will continue in the same direction but from the other
teleport. If the piece can't come out of the teleport (it can be
blocked) it will stop next to the first. You can't send one of the
teleports through the other.
The bombs:
This is the complicated part of Dynamate, there are red, green, blue,
yellow and black bombs who all have different functions. As mentioned,
to complete a puzzle you have to explode all bombs.
The first three bombs works like this:
Red on Green will cause an explosion, so will
Green on Blue, also
Blue on Red.
Notice that these bombs has the same "power".
To make the puzzles a little bit more complex we added another two
bombs, the yellow and the black.
You can say that the black is the "strongest" bomb. It will cause an
explosion no matter what colour the other bombs has. No bomb (except the
black) will explode while hitting the black.
The yellow bomb is kind of the opposite to the black, every bomb (except
the yellow) will cause an explosion while hitting the yellow. The yellow
bomb will not cause an explosion no matter what bomb it hits.
If we draw a schedule it looks something like this:
Black
Red - Green - Blue - Red - Green - Blue
Yellow
If there are a row of bombs, the sliding bomb will explode all bombs in
the "right" colours.
Phew!
You will get it after a short time playing (we hope).
You can fail in four ways. Send a piece out of the screen, run out of
time, make more than 99 moves and pressing the escape key.
End of instructions.
