It's hard and dangerous work being a captive of the evil Count of Mica. To obtain your release all the treasures from each of three fields must be collected. Each is surrounded by a high wall and there are two blocks of wall inside the field.

The treasure is guarded by a hungry man-eating monster. Here the two inner walls prove useful because if you can lure the monster behind one he will momentarily stop. Then you take what you can before he becomes active again.

Four hyperspace pills have been provided to use in each field. Taking one will immediately transport you to another random location within the field. This proves very handy when the monster comes too close for comfort. Sometimes, however, you can find yourself re-appearing just as near, or closer!

There are four skill levels. At the easiest, you score 15 points per item, but there are more items and large inner walls. At the most difficult, you score 60 points per item, there's fewer items and much smaller walls.
