This manual provides all the information you need to master Bomb Tracker, including gameplay mechanics, controls, and tips for success.

Game Overview

Bomb Tracker is a single-player puzzle game where the objective is to guide Tracker Tabitha through maze-like sewers to defuse bombs planted by Robber Reuben. The game features two screens: a lower screen where most of the action takes place and an upper screen that displays the villain or the aboveground scene.

Controls

• D-Pad: Move Tracker Tabitha up, down, left, or right within the maze.
• Push Action: Automatically performed when John Solver moves into a movable wall with no obstructions behind it.
• Start/Pause: Pauses the game and enables you to restart a level if you make a mistake. Be aware that restarting a level causes you to lose a life!

Gameplay Instructions

Objective

Navigate Tracker Tabitha through mazes to defuse at least one bomb per level before the timer expires. Avoid getting trapped by moving walls or running out of time, as this results in a miss. Three misses end the game.

Game Information

• Description: Features a fixed sequence of maze layouts that increase in complexity.
• Gameplay:
  • Use the D-Pad to move Tracker Tabitha through the maze to reach a bomb.
  • Push movable walls to clear a path, but only if there’s no obstruction behind them.
  • Each level has a 25-second time limit.
  • After defusing a bomb, Tabitha proceeds to the next room, earning points based on remaining time.
  • Every 10 levels, the maze scrolls from right to left. Navigate to the left to avoid being crushed by advancing walls and reach the bomb at the end.
  • Mazes test logic and planning as they become more intricate.
• Tips:
  • Plan your wall pushes carefully to avoid blocking your path.
  • In scrolling levels, prioritise speed to stay ahead of the moving walls.
  • Study the maze layout before moving to optimise your route.

Scoring

• Defusing a Bomb: Remaining seconds converted to points per bomb defused.
• Misses: If the timer reaches zero or Tracker Tabitha is crushed by moving walls, you receive a miss. Three misses result in a game over. Misses cannot be cleared.

Enjoy the challenge of Bomb Tracker, and good luck stopping Robber Reuben!
