You've been lost for a long time on a planet that has objects strewn around. You'll need to explore the planet and gather the objects, then bring them back to your ship to activate the countdown. Each object is worth a different amount. The apple (on level 3) is worth 1 point, while the Diamond (on level 9) is worth 6 points. (other objects include a map, a bug, an egg Watch out for the big red evil chicken) and a shovel)

If you are hit by a fish, an apple, the bubbles, a drop of water, lava, or the evil chicken, you will be sent back to your ship and a point will be ADDED to your countdown (remember, the point is to get to "0"). Also, stepping in the water or lava sends you back to you ship.

Health kits will appear when the countdown reaches a certain number (and take your countdown down 1 point), and the toolbox will only show up once, so use it immediately (by taking it to the ship).

The toolbox repairs the ship automatically, so you can watch it or leave and it will be done when you get back.

There are hidden walkways, and "green arrows" to help you on your way. Be careful.

I am certain you will be frustrated by the tree level, but stick with it.

My suggestion is to try to make it to the diamond, then come all the way back. Or you can always get the apple a bunch of times.

Once the countdown timer reaches "0", your ship will blast off, and you can watch what happens...I assure you, it's not pleasant...it's the reason why you haven't been found.

The game could be very hard, but if you stick with it, you can get to the blast off. I can do it in about 5 minutes (by retreiving the damond).

Most of the levels have their own simple puzzle.

And I know it's frustrating to have a point taken off every time you get sent back to the chip...sorry. I thought that made it more interesting to play.

Thanks for playing.
