THE GAME
~~~~~~~~
Daleks are very vicious robots, and their sole aim is to tore you apiece
with their metallic claws. Thus each turn you'll see them move closer and
closer, until the final carnage. You'll try escaping them by using the
following keys:
789 left up, up, up right
654 left, stay, right
123 left down, down, down right
By chance Daleks are as stupid as they are evil, and you can destroy them
by making them run into each other (which creates a pyre), or by making them
run into a pyre. Moreover you also have some special weapons:
S Sonic Boom, kills all Daleks within one cell of you. It doesn't
create or affect pyres. You win a Sonic Boom after each level.
T Teleports you to an empty place on the area. Very handy, but not
guaranteed to be safe, and it costs one point.
L Last Stand, will cause you to stand still until you die or the
level is completed. Only use when you're sure it's safe to.
