AZES

D

igital Labyrinth™ features four mazes. After completing
the fourth maze, you will return to the first maze, but the
obstacles in the maze will be moving faster, making each
level progressively harder. You will play through the mazes
five times, for a total of twenty levels.

NAVIGATING THE MAZE

Steer your ball through the maze by tilting the hand-held
console.

• To move the ball forward, tilt the console forward.

• To move the ball backward, tilt the console backward.

• To move the ball to the left, tilt the console to the left.

To move the ball to the right, tilt the console to the right.

•

Helpful Hint: Follow the single line in the middle of the
maze to make sure your ball is headed in the right direc­tion.

LIVES

Each player starts the game with three lives. If you do not
avoid an obstacle, you will lose one of your lives and start
back at the beginning of the maze.

ACLES

OBST

As you navigate each maze, you will encounter a number
of obstacles. You earn points by closely touching each
obstacle. Points will flash for the obstacle if you are suc­cessful. Steering around an obstacle entirely will not earn
you points. You will lose one life for each obstacle you do
not avoid.

Hole

Press the Jump/Select button to jump over a Hole. If you
fall into a Hole, you will lose one life. You must navigate
close to a hole to earn points for that hole.

Trap Door

When you first encounter a Trap Door, it may be closed
and invisible. You will have to act quickly to avoid falling
into a Trap Door as it opens. A Trap Door can be jumped
over or rolled over when completely shut.

• Press the Jump/Select button to jump over a Trap Door.

• If you fall into a Trap Door, you will lose one life.

Hint: If you see a break in the single line, it probably indi­cates that a trap door exists.

Conveyor Belt

Conveyor Belts move in one direction, scrolling faster in
the higher levels. Once your ball comes into contact with a
Conveyor Belt, it becomes very hard to navigate.

Quicksand

When you encounter Quicksand, roll over it quickly or your
ball will sink.

• You cannot jump when you are on quick-sand.

• If you jump onto quicksand, you will sink into it and
lose one life.

E

xit Portal

Enter the Exit Portal to receive a bonus and go to the next
level.

Spider

S

piders exist in each level and will track you throughout
the maze. They cannot travel over maze walls, but can
travel over other obstacles.

• You can jump over or steer around a spider to escape,
or jump on a Spider to squash it and collect points.

• If your ball touches a Spider, the Spider will capture you
a

nd take you out of the maze. You will lose one life.

JUMPING

Some obstacles can be avoided by jumping over them.

• Press the Jump/Select button to jump over a Hole, Trap
D

oor, or a Spider.

FINISHING A LEVEL

There is a porthole at the end of each maze. Steer your
ball into the porthole to advance to the next level.

S

CORING

Each time you successfully navigate over an obstacle or
go into exit portals, you will earn points. (See the Scoring
Chart on the back of the game.) Your High Score will be
displayed at the end of each game.

PAUSE MODE

When the Pause button is pressed, gameplay will stop for
30 seconds.

• After 30 seconds, the game will turn off.

• To turn the game back on, press Jump/Select button or
Start/Pause button. The game will continue back where
it was originally paused.
