THE GAME:

=========

Your an imperial agent, codenamed: "Load Runner".

Your task is to recover the treasure stolen by the Dark Forces. The

stolen gold is being closely guarded by the Dark Forces robots, the

Spereoids. Now the puzzles are getting harder!

Armed with a digging vaporizer and your wits, you set forth on your

mission.

Tips:

-----

When you dig a hole with your vaporizer; you can safely fall through

to the ground below, but if a Spereoid chasing you falls into the

hole; they will get stuck.

You may safely stand on a Spereiods head; getting on top can be

difficult.

The Spereiods can only carry one treasure, and a level is not over

until you get all of it. To get treasure off a Spereiod, you must

trap them in a hole. The treasure will appear above them.

Just because it looks solid, it does not mean it is. Regular bricks

can contain trap doors.

Not all bricks can be vaporized; solid bricks and trap doors may not

be vaporized.

After all the treasure is collected, you need to climb to the top of

the level to continue to the next.

If a Spereiods comes in contact with you, you die, and the level

restarts.

To open a door, you must have a key.

Potions give special powers, experiment, but use wisely.

Beamer's send you to a random location on the screen (another beamer).

Controls:

---------

There are two modes of control for your runner:

KEYS: Use the six keys on your Pilot to control your runner

(configurable). The keys allow you to move the runner and

dig holes to trap guards, and change potions ability.

STYLUS: Tapping a point on the screen will make the runner run

to that location (if possible). To dig holes, the user

must tap the area where the hole should be dug. Tap on the

potion icon to change the feature of the potions.

The [MENU] button terminates the current game.

The [FIND] button aborts the current life.
