          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.
