MajiKazo (Spectrum version, Lemonize 2012) USER'S MANUAL *** HOWTOPLAY Help Flush, the cleaner wizard, to face 24 different rooms plenty of dangerous enemies! In order to clean a room you'll have to beat all enemies appearing from special blocks, the generators. Generator blocks will eventually be empty and the room clear. Find 4 hidden keys in the chests spread on the room and make your way to the exit door: if you clean the room before you reach the opened door your score will be noticeably increased, which will make your mission much easier. If you haven't completely cleaned the room you can go out anyway. Yes. But the castle will keep stuffed with magic creatures. The customer wants the castle monster-free and you're suposed to be the one to do it, aren't you? Besides chests, you'll find lots of boxes (breakable blocks) in the rooms. They may contain different SPELLS and ITEMS that might be very helpful. Beware of the clock! When time reaches ZERO you'll lose 1 magic life. You can also lose 1 magic life when any creature (or its shot) touches you. The game is over when you run out of magic lives. *** THECAST Flush. Novice wizard. He works in a magical cleaning service. Yep, that's you. Lil'legs. Magically overgrown spiders. Weak, slow enemies. They become faster later on. Bluemood. Walking empty armours. Lots of them. Sheeet. They float over blocks. Approaching from everywhere. Spark. Red slow heavy armours. Beware of their shots. Lemonface. Yellow fast light armours. Run for your life! Magfade. Fast and floating. Double danger. Doppelganger. You'd better avoid IT unless you get 3 "starpow". *** SPELLS Spell shots can open chests and boxes. They can also beat certain enemies and neutralize their shots as well. Their effect lasts until you exit the current room or until you lose one of your magic lives. You must use different spells to vanish enemies... - GREEN spell: Your default magic when you enter a new room or after being touched. You can only defeat LIL'LEGS with it, because it's the weakest enemy (almost any spell affects it). - CYAN spell: Use it to finish BLUEMOOD. - RED spell: You can destroy SPARK with it. It's an explosive spell than opens all chests and boxes around. Wicked! - WHITE spell: Use it to eliminate SHEEET. - YELLOW spell: You can beat LEMONFACE with it. - MAGENTA spell: It just freezes temporally any enemy but MAGFADE, which is destroyed. *** ITEMS These are the different items you may find... - YEN (coing bag): It increases your score 1000 points. Every 16384 points you'll get an extra magic life. - HITHAT (magic hat): Every hat gives you another chance to keep on cleaning. That is, an extra magic life. - STARPOW: If you collect three of them, you'll get an special multicolour power that can beat ANY enemy (even the hard Doppelganger). Its effect lasts as long as any spell. - HOURGLASS: It stops the time counter, temporarily freezing all enemies. - REBOOT (winged boots): They will increase your speed if you wear them. Its effect lasts as long as any spell. - CANDLELIGHT: It reveals the content of all closed boxes containing items. - TRAP: Watch out! It's a harmful spider's web that will immobilize you for a few seconds, making you vulnerable to enemy attacks. *** CONTROLS This game is designed for just one single player. You can use: - classic KEYBOARD: "OPQA" to move, SPACE/"M"/"N"/"Z" to cast a spell - alternative KEYBOARD: "JLIK" to move, "Z"/"X" to cast a spell - CURSOR, space/"M"/"N"/"Z" to cast a spell - JOYSTICK (sinclair -any port- or kempston) Press "H"(alt) to PAUSE the game. Press "E"(xit) to ABORT the game. *** TIPS - Think for a little while before changing to a new colour spell. Maybe you'll need to change the colour of your magic several times. Be smart: don't run out of items too soon. - Keep in mind that MAGENTA spell is kind of weird. - Multicolour magic is very powerful. It can make any room easy to clean... but, you know, Doppelgangers show up just in certain rooms. If you want to beat them, you'll have to decide when is worth completing the 3 "starpow". - Sometimes things are NOT what they seem to be: when you think there's no way to get to somewhere, just cast your spells against unbreakable blocks (they could be cracked so they'd be breakable actually) - There's no need to break completely the blocks to reveal what's inside them. Just cast one spell against a block and take a look... then decide if you want to cast a second one to destroy it. Keeping some blocks undone may help. - Remember that your mission is to clean as much as possible. If you achieve it, the customer will be happy and so will be your boss. You can get fun by collecting keys and running away from door to door, but that's not your job. *** LOADING INSTRUCTIONS The game will load by the usual LOAD "" *** STAFF Lemonize... >Code: Armando Perez (aka RAMONES) >Pixels: Miguel Angel Fernandez (aka SUTCHAN) >SFX: Madonna Mark 2 Those who made it possible... >Wisdom+Support+Knowledge+Patience: MADONNA MKII & TRUE VIDEO >Brilliant Ideas: David Fernandez (aka IMANOK) Retroworks... >Testing and Code Support: Javier Peña(Utopian), Jaime Tejedor (MetalBrain) >+2A/+3 version: Jaime Tejedor (MetalBrain) >Cover art: Francisco Javier Velasco (Pagantipaco) Thanks for playing.
