Editor Tips:
The best way to edit levels is to start with a platform and
construct from there while play testing often! | Tiles, Items &
hazards are layered, so if you want something in front of something
else plot it last! | Robots can only be placed on the metal tile
surfaces | Plan out your levels on paper first, it helps! | Watch all
of the demos so you know what the tiles/objects are and
what they actually do!
Play Tips:
Practice maintaining a
steady hovering thrust - You will need to navigate through tight
areas later! | Avoid damaging obstacles - They drain
your energy! | Your rockets cannot destroy toxic moss alone - Shoot
them through fire first! | Land on power depots to fully replenish
your power - Use them sparingly, they can only be used once! | Land
on bomb detonators to blast out impassible walls - There may may
also be valuable items or treasure behind them! | Avoid radiation
at all costs! - Hitting it sends you out of control, Shooting it
ricochets your rocket at you! | Blast all the boulders you can -
Some may have treasure in them! |
