Drain Mania
===========

The Game
--------
Drain Mania is a game where a love of sewers is an advantage -
you play the part of an athletic chap called
Theodore, who roams the various corridors of the
system in search of a way out...

Plummeting from the drainage pipes at the top of
the screen to the collection pipes at the bottom, slide
various sewer beasts named Inky, Pinky and 
Dinky. During their dangerous descent you must
either avoid or kill them. They will fall if you first
dislodge their feet by head-butting them from below
the floor and then kicking them out of your way...

Any encounter with an upright beast will result in a
very unpleasant death! Each creature has a different
strength. Dinky, for example, requires three head-butts
before it topples over.

Head-butting the Zap block causes everything on the
screen to topple. This, however, may only be used
three times.

Now and again, water or fire balls are ejected from
the pipes; these must be avoided. Coins discarded from
the streets above hang from the floors to make your
journey worthwhile.

Occasionally, you may come across a tunnel full of
coins; collect these before the beasts catch up with
you...

Theodore can move left, right or jump to a new floor.
Some corridors are more slippery than others so 
make sure you tread carefully! Theodore may also
become invisible for a short time on each screen.
Bonus life and Zap block at 10,000 and 30,000 points.

Finally, if you fail to kick a beast before it flips
back onto its feet, the creature becomes even more
ferocious!

No-one has yet escaped from the tunnels of Drain
Mania. Will you be the first?
