Deep down in the depths of Desperate Dan's dark, damp, dreadful dungeons, lurk some ghastly monsters that he has created by pure accident. Now the only way that he can stop them from stealing the food and causing terrible havoc is to keep them behind walls filled with pure liquid Dartanium. This liquid has been specially formulated by Dan and can only be produced and collected from a large machine he has installed at the bottom right of the dungeon.
Unfortunately there are several smaller, rodent-type monsters who have made their home in the dungeon and they love to drink the liquid Dartanium from the protective walls that Dan has made, so he has to go up in the lift and shoot the little creatures with the cannons that he has placed on the different platforms. Make sure that you do not stand on one of them, or if you make any mistakes then it's back to watering the flowers!
You never know when an energy sack will be dropped down, but when they are, just kick a hole in the sack. The high voltage, combined with the dampness in the dungeon, can have some very strange effects, so beware.
Move Dan left and right, avoiding the rodents. To go up on the lift, jump on and keep pressing the Jump key. To descend, let go of the Jump key. To fill with dartinium, go to the machine and wal right up to it. To fire the cannon end, kill the rodents, go onto the required level and walk left as far as possible.
When Dan has reached as far as he can go, press X to go right. Dan will now fire the cannon.
