Level Stats

2011-04-07T04:46:00.000-07:00

After failing a mission the following screen is shown.

You can see what you earned, although it will most likely be next to nothing. Even on a failed mission you can save a replay to watch later (watch replays from the 'Replay Menu' in 'Extra').

When saving a replay just select a slot to save it. You can save upto 4 different games. You can overwrite older games as much as you want.

The following screenshot shows a successful mission.

When a mission is successful you have a chance of a mission reward. If you are completing a mission for the first time you are given 2 recipes (assuming you have room to hold them). If you are completing a mission you have already done you have a percent chance of gaining an item. The item will be random based on your lootLevel, however for a mission reward your lootLevel is boosted slightly allowing you to get items you might not have gotten within a mission.

Ingame

2011-04-07T04:28:00.000-07:00

When on a mission you take control of a Slimoc. You use this slimoc to collect all the cherries, once you have collected them all the mission ends a success.

Action	Button	Description
Movement	D-Pad or ABXY	Move in 4 directions.
Attacking	L or R Shoulders	Different weapons will attack in different ways. Some weapons are more useful than others.
Clicking	Stylus Press	By clicking onscreen with the stylus you can interact with things. Clicking a bomb while next to it picks it up. Clicking on an enemy with a gun will lock on the enemy.
Change Direction	Stylus Press	A useful way to turning without moving is to click the stylus. The character will always point in that direction. If an enemy moves to much this will be useful to you.

Some useful tips while playing:

If you find you can't pick an item up chances are you have no room. You can only carry 9 in game items. You can drop some things to make room by dragging the item into the 2 arrow pics underneath the bag. One will drop the item in front, the other will drop it below your feet.
If you cant drop an item it will be because that area of land is not empty. try moving and dropping it elsewhere.
You can only have one powerform at a time. To pick another up you have to drop it. You can drop your powerform the same as the bag items. Dragging it onto the arrows. The powerform icon is the small circle to the right of your health and armour bars.
The items shown above the health and armour bars are automatic items. They indicate they are active or you have some remaining.
The tiny bag and bar to the left of it show your current status on inventory items. Once this is full items that fly into you are simply lost UNLESS it can stack with some currently held items.
To the left of the ingame items you can see the specials collected. Specials last till the end of the mission or you drop them like items. You can carry upto 4 specials at any one time.

The top of the menu screen (switched by using the stylus at the bottom left) also allows you to use assigned items. (To assign an item to use in a mission you use the 'Item List' menu in extra). If you have some currently in your inventory it will show here (its hidden when you run out, but not unassigned).

Clicking on the item will present you with the following screen.

You can use the item or simply back out. NOTE: not all items are to your benefit. For example using a Lamp will summon an enemy Gobol, which are incredibly strong.

If your are having trouble navigating the levels check out the tutorials.

Level Select

2011-04-07T04:06:00.000-07:00

Tap on the screen to move the scene along. Once you have watched it, re-pressing on the same level will take you to the mission.

Equipment

2011-04-06T11:58:00.000-07:00

Equipment is used to increase your chances of success on a mission. There are 56 available attributes. Here are a few.

Name	Description
Health	Increases your health.
Armour	Increases your armour.
Item Finder	Increases items found.
Rebirth	Gives a 6% chance to resurrect you at 15% health and armour when you die.
Life Leech	Drain and heal a percentage of damage done.
Parry	Gives you a 5% chance to take no damage.

Note when an attribute on a piece of equipment is shown as yellow, its effects stack the more you get. Where white named attributes simply activate if you have a positive number of them.

For Example:
Item finder is a white named attribute. If you have 2 armour pieces with +1 and 1 armour piece with -1 you would activate the skill as you would be left with +1 Item Finder.
However if you removed the -1 piece and had +2 Item Finder the effects would not increase.

Life Leech is a yellow named attribute. Its value is the percentage is uses. +10 LifeLeech drains 10% where as +15 drains 15%.

Changes:
Some attribute change based on conditions. For example Cracked armour gives a chance for you to take double damage, and this chance increases by 4% for every piece of equipment you have with the wornout attribute.

Another example would be Treasure Hunter which increase your loot level. The loot level given is based on your current rank (attrBase + (7 * currRank)).

Equipping:
Using the equipment menu allows you to change your gear and view whats currently equipped.

You can review your stats on the upper screen. However if you want a list of attibutes gained from equipment simply press the 'Attributes' button in the top right.

If you click on an equipment piece on the equipment screen it will present you with the following lower screen.

Allowing you to remove or change the equipment slot with another item.

Set Bonuses:
Some equipment pieces belong to sets. The image above shows a helmet piece called 'Basic Cap' and you can see it belongs to the set 'Basic'.

Equipping all pieces of a set will grant you its set bonus. (you can view the bonus before gaining it by clicking on the yellow button naming the set).

If you remove a piece that breaks the set you lose the attributes of the item and the set. Some armour pieces are only effective when worn as a set. However some set pieces can be mixed and matched, you just wont get the bonus.
