The story

Greenytoria is a beautiful planet where the inhabitants live in peace with each other. They are a very high-tech society using mechanical inventions to help them in their everyday lives. Almost all of this mechanical stuff comes from Robotic Solutions inc. The owner is called G. Reedy. He is a wealthy man with a very high education and he moved to the planet a long time ago. Thereafter he began to develop robots to make a living. The company produce robots for all kind of purposes. From cleaning machines, industrial building machines, transport vehicles to remote-controlled submarines. G. Reedy has now realised that he can use his knowledge to entirely different things...

The doc lives on his own island on Greenytoria. It's a long way from everything else on the planet. All the factories are also located on the island. He has no workers at all, because it's controlled by robots. Greenytoria is a planet full of resources. Reedy has planned to launch all these contraptions to gain control of Greenytoria and exploit the resources of the planet.G. Reedy has taken the first step to take over the entire galaxy. He has captured all of the inhabitants with his robots. Except for one that is.

Greeny, a scientist who is specialised in robotic machinery and computer technology, is doing some research in his lab. But right now he is looking out of his window in the lab and can't understand where everyone else is...

What to do:
Your goal in this game is to reach the end of each of the levels. But you will not be allowed to exit if you haven't collected all the crystals located in each level. On your way you will meet enemies. Avoid or shoot them. There are also extra health points scattered in the landscape. You can collect those too. At the final stage, the boss stage, your goal is to beat the boss.

What will kill me:
You die if you fall off the ground and there are no platforms underneath you. Otherwise you die when you have lost all your health points. You can do this by touching the spikes, get hit by an enemy or an enemy shot.

Complete Level Bonus:
You receive this bonus for each level completed

Life Bonus:
You receive this bonus for the number of remaining lifes you have left when the game is completed. The more lifes you have left, the more points you will get.

HP Bonus:
The more Health Points (HP) you have after each completed level the more points you receive.

Hidden Item Bonus:
In the first three levels there is one hidden item. If you find it you will receive 500 points.

Historien

Greenytoria er en smuk planet hvor beboerne lever fredeligt sammen. De har en højt udviklet teknologi som hjælper dem i deres daglige liv. Næsten al deres teknologi kommer fra Robotic Solutions Inc. Ejeren hedder Dr. G. Reedy. Han er en rig og mægtig mand med en høj uddannelse. Han flyttede til planeten for mange år siden. Derefter begyndte han at udvikle robotter for at tjene til dagen og vejen. Hans selskab producerer robotter til alle slags formål. Fra rengøringsmaskiner, industrielle byggemaskiner, transport robotter til fjernstyrede undervandsbåde. G. Reedy har nu indset han kan bruge denne viden og magt til helt andre ting end bare at producere robotter...

Doktoren lever på sin helt egen ø på Greenytoria, langt fra alt andet på planeten. Der er ingen medarbejdere ansat, alt bliver fremstillet af robotter. Greenytoria er en planet fuld af ressourcer. Reedy har planlagt at udnytte disse ressourcer som Greenytoria besidder. G. Reedy har allerede taget det første skridt til at overtage Greenytoria, og senere intet mindre end galaksen. Han har tilfangetaget alle beboerne på planeten. Dog med undtagelse af en enkelt.

Greeny, en videnskabsmand med speciale i robotter og computer teknologi, er ved at foretage undersøgelser i sit laboratorie. Men nu da han kigger ud af vinduet, kan han ikke forstå hvor alle de andre er henne...

Sådan spiller man

Grundregler:
Dit mål er at nå til slutningen af hver af de tre første baner. Du skal dog samle alle krystallerne før du kan komme videre. Har du ikke samlet alle krystaller må du gå tilbage og finde dem alle før du kan komme videre. På din vej møder du fjender. Skyd eller undgå dem. Der er også health point rundt omkring på banerne. På den sidste fjerde bane skal du ikke samle krystaller, men klare bossen.

Hvad Greeny skal passe på:
Man dør hvis man falder ned i et hul. Man dør hvis man mister alle sine health point. Du mister dem ved at røre ved pigge, blive ramt af en fjendes skud eller hvis du rammer selve fjenden.

Complete Level Bonus:
Du modtager denne bonus for hver bane du gennemfører.

Life Bonus:
Når spillet er gennemført får du point får alle de liv du har til gode. Gem dem for et højere antal point.

HP Bonus:
Desto flere health point du har efter hver bane du har gennemført, desto flere point får du.

Hidden Item Bonus:
På de første tre baner er der en skjult genstand. Hvis du finder den modtager du 500 point.
