Kettle

Two screens. Two players. Two battles. A truly amazing, interactive, all-action arcade spectacular with a unique gameplan.

Trapped in a complex underground system, your only means of escape is a hidden tin opener. Hidden... but where? Deep in a bubbling bowel. Which one you don't know and in finding out, be careful... there are a few surprises lying in wait!

Split-screen vision lets you study your opponent's progress. If you're kind you can assist. If you're ruthless you can wait and plunder.

"Action packed. Nerve tingling excitement set in an unusual game scenario. You've never seen a game like this before." - Tony Crowther

The Game

Your Kettle is trapped in a complex underground system and you have to break free. There are thirty levels, each getting bigger as you progress to higher levels. On loading you are offered two start levels - level one and level four. Should you reach higher than level four, a third option of this level will be offered as your next start point.

To escape from each level you must locate the tin opener hidden in one of the bubble-emitting bowels. Collision with bubbles drains energy. Your only protection is your orbiting "Crizza".

Ten hits on the bowel (crizza) and this changes to a diamond, one more hit will reveal either a tin opener, an alien, a bonus, an energy-giving jug of water... An alien is destroyed by ten hits of the crizza.

Your split-screen view allows you to monitor your opponent's progress and to help him, hinder him or, if you're clever, watch him do all the work then nip in to collect the spoils.

Once the tin opener has been collected, you move towards the exit, which will open as you approach. In the two-player mode the second player can follow the player in possession of the tin opener through the already opened exit.
