HYDROFOOL

(c) Carter Follis Software 1987

INTRODUCTION

Fresh from his dismal triumph on Knutz Folly, Sweevo is thrust into
the watery world of DEATHBOWL, a planet which, for no good reason,
has been converted into a gigantic aquarium.

Will Sweevo succeed in his mysterious mission - or will the Great
Bowl-Keeper pull the plug on him?

HYDROFOOL is a fast, 3-D, seek, chase, puzzle and laugh game,
featuring the fabulous but irrelevant HYDROMATION.

THE GAME

"SWEEVO" said the kindly Robo-Master, gnashing his metallic teeth, "I
didn't expect you back so soon... so, go and clean out the DEATHBOWL!"
Warily, Sweevo reached for his copy of the GALACTIC ADUARIST and read:

"The gigantic planetary aquarium called DEATHBOWL is now so polluted
that the only remedy is to complettly empty it of water by pulling
each of the four main plugs. Each plug is activated by special
objects, indicated by the surrounding floor-plates. These objects may
be just lying around, although guarded, or they may be part of one of
the inhabitants, which must therefore be eliminated - luckily,
weapons, with limited ammo, may be found in abundance. The Deathbowl
is constructed of several levels - downward access is by whirlpools,
upward access by bubbles - some bubbles burst early, which is useful!

NOTE: It is important that the plugs are pulled in the correct
sequence, otherwise an inaccessible level will be created.

SPECIAL NOTE: for mechanical lifeforms: Rusting commences on contact
with water - this can be reversed, temporarily, by an intake of oil."
