THE STORY
|
|
-=-=-=-=-
|
|
A long, long time ago (1987), Wizball, Wizard and Nifa tha cat banished
|
|
Zark from the land of Wiz for being naughty.
|
|
Everyone lived happily ever after. Nifta had 8 kittens, and Wizard and
|
|
Wizball got married and have a kid.
|
|
Well, Zark came back one night and kidnapped Wizard, Wizball and Nifta.
|
|
He threw Wizard and Wizball into dungeons in his castle and put Nifta in
|
|
the turtle jail on round 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE MISSION
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
Your misson as Wizkid is to collect as many kittens as possible, release
|
|
Nifta from Chokey and battle on to Zark's castle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE GAMEPLAY
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
Each round consists of several screens each with several waves of Zark's
|
|
minions. Destroy the enemies by bouncing bricks on them.
|
|
Clear the screen by eliminating all the aliens before you run out of
|
|
bricks. If you fail to get rid of all the nasties, you will go on to the
|
|
next screen but will retry the screen you just failed later on.
|
|
Once all the screens have been cleared, one of Nifta's kitten will pre-
|
|
sent himself. Touch him to pick him up and continue your travels, or
|
|
wait for him to go away so you can continue on the same level.

|
|

HINT & TIPS
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
Here are some useful tips from B.D. snail himself:
|
|
1. The best way to play is to hit the tiles as fast as possible on diagonals
|
|
to smash them everywhere. Don't worry too much about conserving tiles.
|
|
2. In the cave maze: "Go throught the exit even thought it's not there, try
|
|
room 32 to see what is where."
|
|
3. An extra life can be found somewhere on round 6.
|
|
4. The lava flow can't kill if something is even.
|
|
5. Remember, you don't have to pick up the kitten if you don't want to
|
|
progress to the next round immediately.
|
|
6. Do what you can't in the past.
|
|
7. The lucky dip takes an object as well as giving you one.
|
|
8. Money can't be transported between rounds.
