Goal

The goal is to earn as many points as possible, in order to get the first place in the highscore list.

Game Over

The game is over when Spot falls into the water or into the abyss.

Controlls

Spot can move left and right and can jump. The faster Spot is, the higher he will jump (he is even able to jump 3 platforms high). Spot's speed will decrease drastically when he changes his direction in air. Collision with the side-walls will change spots direction without decreasing his speed.

Score Points

Following kinds of earning points exist

• Climbing platforms: You get 1 point for every platform you climb
• Time-bonus: Every 100th platform will score 100*timeleft points
• The most points are earned through Combos

Time

The game consists of levels with 100 platforms each. Reaching the next 100th platform before time is running up will score bonus-points. For the next level you will have less time than for the previous one.

Water

The water level is increasing permanently, but its rising speed differs. The less time is remaing on the counter, the faster the water will rise. Also, each time you complete a combo, its rising speed will decrease a bit.

The most important feature in this game are the combos. You get earned multiplicators for outstanding combos. When the combometer falls to zero, the multiplicators will add to the score points. The comboometer falls continuously, but will be filled with every combo you perform.

Explanation of some of the Combos:

• Eagle (multiplicator 1):
  Jump(x) Land(x+2)


• Sharky (multiplicator 2):
  Jump(x) Land(x+3)


• Foxy (multiplicator 3):
  Jump(x) Collide Land(x) Jump(x) Land(x+2)


• Woody (multiplicator 6):
  [Jump(x) | Land(x)] Land(x-1) Jump(x-1) Land(x+1)

More Combos:

• Wally (multiplicator 4) (similar to Foxy)
• Doggy (multiplicator 8) (similar to Woody)
• Catty (multiplicator 4)
• Triple Eagle (multiplicator 3)
• Double Sharky (multiplicator 4)
• Same Eagle (multiplicator 4)
• Same Sharky (multiplicator 6)
• ...

Explanation of events:

• Jump(x): Jump from platform with number x
• Land(x): Land on platform with number x
• Collide: Collision with side-wall
• [Jump(x) | Land(x)]: Jump or land from/on platform with number x
