Introduction
Hello, and welcome to Psyworld! Your name is Psyian, you have been chosen to
clean-up Psyworld. Psyworld was once a place of beauty and tranquility, where the
people of Psyworld could live in peace. Now it has been overrun by countless
hordes of creatures. The elders of Psyworld have had enough, they've turned to you
for help. It's up to you to rid Psyworld of all its unwelcome guests. Have you got
what it takes?...
Options
When you have correctly installed Psyworld and you run game for the first time,
you will come to the main menu (see below). Here you can select 'OPTIONS', by
using the cursor keys. When 'OPTIONS' is highlighted press 'Return' to take you to
the next page.
The following screen will be presented after selecting 'OPTIONS'. Note, When
playing the game for the first time, it is recommended that you do not change the
settings given below. As these settings are considered to be best for the first-time
user.
The above options explained, are as follows (from top the bottom):
Initial Lives
This is the amount of lives you are given when starting the game. This option's
default value is 4, and can be adjusted anywhere from 0-5 inclusive.
Bonus Lives
Bonus lives will be awarded for every 50,000pts you clock-up on your score. If
you disable this option you will not gain any extra lives as you play.
SFX Volume
This controls the volume of sound effects in the game as well as in the menu.
Music Volume
This controls the volume of the music in the game as well as in the menu.
CHEATS!!!
The following subset of options are 'cheats', that have been added to make the
game more fun and bring about more possibilities. However, when playing for the
first time, it's best not to use any cheats.
Turbo Mode
This cheat makes the game run really fast! You need lots of skill to play like this
though. :)
Morpheous Mode
With this cheat enabled, you can jump extremely high, since the universal gravity
constant has been reduced.
Sub-Micron Mode
Allows you to play the game as normal, with the only difference being, all
characters are micro-sized equivalents to normal. This makes the levels feel even
larger!
Emergency Mode
As the name implies, this cheat puts Psyian into a state of emergency, where he
continuously keeps moving, even when you let go of the controls!
Brundle Mode
Now you can be a fly too, zzz z zz zzz... Every time you press the 'jump' button,
Psyian will fly upwards a little.
No Timer Mode
The usual time-limit of 100 seconds is disabled by this cheat. You can now take as
long as you like to complete levels. (Tip: use this cheat to practice any difficult
levels you encounter.)
Mack Mode
There's no gun like the 'mack-gun'. With this much fire power, you can blow to bits
any predator that gets in your way!!!
How to Play
Objectives:
As Psyian, your goal is to clear away all the baddies found on each level. To make
things even harder, you have a time limit of 100 seconds per level. Psyworld is a
huge game, totaling 50 levels spread over 5 different episodes. Each episode
contains 10 levels, that start-off easy and get harder as you progress to the later
levels. Note that each episode is separate from the others, that is, you can play any
episode you like. See image below:
Game stats:
The game stats in Psyworld, are like that of most other games. You have 'Score',
'Lives' and 'Time' etc. There is also a 'Radar' display that shows the location of all
the enemies on a particular level.
