Editor Tips:
Be sure to
read the scrolling help message - It's very helpful! | The best
way to edit a level in Probe II is to start with a main tube and
set the Probe's starting position - Then build on from there |
This editor is unique, you cut out passages rather than plotting
tiles, so plan out your levels on paper first! | Save your
levels often incase you make a mistake!
Play Tips:
Every level has a time limit - So
don't waste time! | You have a limited number of cryo rockets per
level - So try not to miss when cooling the lava! | Tokens, Fuel and
Wrenches may be hidden in walls - Try to find them! | Conserve your
fuel - Avoid excessive shooting! | Fireballs can be destroyed with cryo
rockets - But use this only incase of an emergency! |
Once you have completed a level you have 10 seconds to
escape - Look for an opening on the edge of your screen
to fly out! |
