I. Game Introduction
The objective of this game is to collect, deliver and send out each of the diamonds (one by one)
to the indicated area denoted by a flashing arrow.
II. Game Description
This game has 50 stages. Each screen displays a number of diamonds. The player (penguin)
should collect a diamond using the B-KEY, then move it over the flashing arrow. Press the B-KEY again
to drop this diamond over the arrow. Make sure the penguin is facing in line with the arrow, then press
the A-KEY to send the diamond out. All the diamonds in the current stage must be sent out in order to
enter the next stage.
Your task is not going to be easy because you are confronted by 3 seals. Both penguin and seal
may push any one of the obstacles in the game stage as weapons. The rules governing whether an
obstacle can be pushed or used as weapons are described below.
III. Obstacles Matters
There are three types of obstacles : snow ball, ice cube and diamond. Pressing the A-KEY together
with a direction key may move these obstacles in the desired direction. The rules governing the obstacle
movements are described below.
1. If way is clear, the obstacle will be moved forward. If the penguin or seal appears in the line of
movement, then it will be knocked down and killed by the obstacle.
2. There are 9 possible patterns in the immediate pair of obstacles if the way is not clear. The result
of attempting to move these obstacles is given below.
