For years, Commander Therle and his people have been searching for a new
world to call home. Each time they get close, their enemy, Doh, pushes
away Therle's ships. Recently, a sensor scan detected new terra-class
planets. Therle sent scout ships to check them out, but Doh once again
scattered his Blocks across the solar systems to stop the ships. Before
the scout ships can reach the planets, they must destroy the Blocks.

Blocks
Normal Blocks are the only ones that can hold capsules. Usually, you
can destroy these Blocks with just one hit.

Capsules
Position the capsules in the Normal Blocks. When you destroy one of
these Blocks, its capsule is released.

Silver Block
Shattering this type of Block requires greater skill. You must hit
Silver Blocks several times to break them.

Enemy
When you want a more active foe, place a number of these fierce
enemies in the field. They are hard to beat.

Gold Blocks
Test your skill with the Gold Blocks. See how well you can use them
to ricochet your ball into other Blocks.

Background
Alter the background color of the play field with this option. Choose
a color that is easy on your eyes.

Play
When you have designed the perfect challenge for yourself, select this
option and start running the course.

Exit
Select Exit to return to the Title screen.



-------------------------------pgs. 10-11-------------------------------

CAPSULES

Sometimes, when you destroy one of Doh's Blocks, an energy capsule will
fall out. Capsules give your scout ship different abilities. Catch
them by positioning yourself under them. Your ship will absorb and use
them immediately.


S Capsule
If your ship has been changed by a capsule, the S capsule will return
it to a normal scout ship.

T Capsule
It creates a force field behind your ship to deflect a missed ball.
It will only deflect one ball.

M Capsule
This allows you to destroy multiple Blocks in a row (except Gold
Blocks). Your ball travels right through them.

L Capsule
It equips your scout ship with lasers. To blast your lasers, press
the A or X Button.

G Capsule
It forms a glue-like field around your ship so that you can hold on to
balls until you press the A or X Button.

E Capsule
The length of your ship is extended to almost twice its original size.

D Capsule
The D capsule generates eight balls from the original ball. Keep all
of them in play as long as you can.

B Capsule
Catch this capsule to open a warp gate between levels. Go through
this gate to enter a new level.

P Capsule
An extra scout ship will be added to your fleet. P capsules are very
rare.



-------------------------------pgs. 12-13-------------------------------

BLOCKS

You will be faced with three kinds of Blocks: Normal, Silver, and Gold.
In addition to the Blocks, you must fight Doh's henchmen. They appear
randomly and you must fire many balls or laser beams to defeat them.


Normal Blocks
These are the most common Blocks, and they come in many different
colors. They hold the capsules. One hit will destroy these Blocks.

Silver Blocks
The Silver Blocks do not hold any capsules. They are also harder to
destroy. You will need to strike them several times.

Gold Blocks
It's impossible to destroy Gold Blocks. Instead, use them like walls
to bounce your balls into other Blocks.



-------------------------------pgs. 14-15-------------------------------

TIPS FROM MISSION CONTROL

Back at Mission Control, Commander Therle has some good advice for his
scout ship pilots. Pay attention to his tips, and your chances for
survival will increase. The lives of all your people depend on your
success.


High Speed
As soon as you are familiar with piloting your ship, go to the Option
screen and increase the speed. You will find that it is easier to
destroy Blocks when you move at high speeds.

Grab the M
Catch the M capsule as often as you can. Being able to fire your ball
through multiple Blocks at once is the best weapon your ship can have.
You can cover a lot of space this way.

Watch the Ball
As you race through the barriers, keep your eye on the ball, not on
your ship. As your skill improves, you will be able to move the ship
into position automatically.

Let Some Go
Don't risk losing your ship just to grab a capsule. You could fail
your mission that way. Let the capsules that are hard to catch fall
off the screen. You may be better off without them.

Defeating Bosses.
The huge bosses are difficult to defeat, but not always impossible.
Use your head to think up ways to strike them with the ball. Each
boss has his weak spot -- you just have to find it.
