To move Robbie use the arrow keys. To make him jump press the Shift key. Eat cabbages to build up Robbie's gas level as he has no real weapons except his wits and his rather unpleasant flatulence problem which is lethal to daleks. To release the gas build up press the F key on your keyboard.
On the first screen click the Play button or press the Space Bar on your keyboard to start. The next screen tells the story behind the game and you can skip this by clicking the Skip Story button or again pressing the Space Bar. You will then be taken to the first scene of the game at the cliffs.
Control
To control Robbie use the Arrow Keys on your keyboard. To move to the right, press the Right arrow and to move to the left, the Left arrow. To jump press the Shift key on your keyboard, that's the up facing arrows just above the Ctrl keys not the up arrow of the arrow keys or number pad. In the Clouds scene you can climb the ladder on the right of the screen by pressing the Up arrow key. To play the game using a joypad/joystick click on Game in the top menu and choose Players. In the column under 1, click on the square next to Joystick 1 or Joystick 2. You can also change the keys used on the keyboard for control by clicking the cross in the Keyboard square and then the button next to the left right etc., movement options.
To release a caged Elf simply move over the cage and he will be transported magically back to Santa's Grotto. Pick up and eat cabbages along the way to build up your gas level shown at the top of the screen. Release the gas by pressing the F key on your keyboard. Daleks that get in the way of released gas will be dematerialised. If you come into contact with a Dalek you will receive an electric shock and a loss of points. Score points, shown in the top right hand corner of the screen, by eliminating the Daleks (100 points) and releasing Elves (500 Points). If you should ever find that Robbie gets stuck between ledges and you cannot move him then press the Escape ESC key on your keyboard to return him to the last safe place he was. If you fall off any platforms during the game you lose a life, shown in the top left corner of the screen. You will start again with a new life where you last fell. Losing all lives ends the game and if you have a high score you will automatically be asked to enter your name for the High Score Table.
