It was entered into Bung Enterprises 2nd Gameboy Coding Competition.
User guide
You know you shouldn't have answered the newspaper ad. "Athletic subject required to test a new kind of skateboard". New kind of skateboard?!
Yeah, nuclear powered! And now it's gone wrong, with you on it! It won't stop and if you crash, it explodes!
Your only chance to escape this nightmare is to reach the "safety zone" but that is ten test-zones away!
Gameplay
Lead our hapless hero to the exit on each zone without hitting a wall and you'll be one step closer to freedom. Oh yes, one thing though.
The scientists have asked if you could collect some sample pots left around the zone. If you don't they won't let you out the exit so your life is on the line here.
Once a level has begun and the "Go! image has vanished, you can study the level. Get a feel for where you're heading. You won't move until you press one of the directions and once you're moving, you cannot stop.
Options
Skoardy has a number of options to make your life easier (or harder).
First option is Speed. This affects how fast you travel. The default setting is 2 so if you're finding things a little difficult, you've got an easier setting to try. However, if your reactions are super-fast, you might be tempted to try a higher level.
The second option is for the Pots. Here you can remove the need to collect pots altogether by setting it to "OFF' It defaults to "ON" but there is also another setting which might help it things are too hard. The "STAY" setting means that you still need to collect all the pots but if you lose a life, the pots you've already collected will no re-appear.
Lastly, Level specifies which level you will start on for a new game. If you want a little boost or simply want to skip the earlier levels, this option will let you pick your starting level right up to "5".
