DYNAMITE JIM is a small game (2.5k) for the Commodore 64, Vic20, Plus4/C16, PET40/80 and ZX Spectrum. Guide Jim through the falling mines to collect Hearts.
Controls: To move, use the Keys around the 'S' key. (QWEADZXC) Hit SPACE to detonate Dynamite. Hit K to quit back to title screen.
Mines fall every time you move. (6 on Level 1, 8 on Level 2, etc.) Collect 3 (out of 4) Hearts to proceed to the next level. Collect Freezers (F) to stop the mines falling for a few steps. Collect Dynamite to use later to blast a passage through the mines.
HINTS: Remember, you can move diagonally between mines too. Collect as many sticks of Dynamite as you can on earlier levels, you will need them later. Try to plot a course at the start of a level that uses the pattern of Freezers and Dynamites to collect the Hearts, it can make a big difference.
Collecting Freezers early is often helpful, even if you go off course a bit. You only need 3 of the 4 Hearts, so choosing which one to leave behind is important on later levels.
Each Dynamite or Freezer you pick up scores (3x Level) points so they also boost your final score.
