Monsters
========

Introduction
------------
Pursued by monsters along walls and up and down ladders, your only 
hope of survival is to outwit them by trapping them in holes which you
dig in their path. If a monster falls in, the hole must be filled in
completely, or the monster will crawl out.

You can score extra points by dropping the monsters
through several levels, and the further you get the more you can score,
as the monsters vary and become more devious.

Quite an exhausting business, so keep an eye on the oxygen level 
which drops during each screen and eventually runs out, whereupon
you will die. You have three lives, however, and can earn another one
by scoring 3,000 points.

Includes score, ladder of high scores, excellent graphics and sound
effects.



How To Play
-----------
Monsters can be killed in one of two ways: either by falling through
holes which you dig and fill, or by being hit by monsters falling from
above. If a monster is hit by a falling monster, both die. If you manage
to kill all the monsters, you graduate to another screen.

The longer you survive, the more you can score as the monsters vary
and become more devious. Whereas *red* monsters only need to fall
through one level, *green* monsters must fall through two levels, and *white*
monsters must fall through three levels, before they actually die. If they fall
through more than the minimum number of levels, then your score will
be even higher.

From the second screen onwards, any *red* or *green* monster that is
allowed to crawl out of a hole mutates into a *green* or a *white*
monster respectively.
