## Introduction

Guide an explorer through the mazes inside a Pyramid, and outsmart the Mummy, who's just a few steps away!

This puzzle game is simple to learn, and offers many hours of absorbing puzzle playing! Guide your explorer to escape from maze after maze, each one containing a dangerous Mummy. Use walls and doors to your advantage, and find ways to trap the Mummy, since he runs faster than you can, and will easily catch you out in the open!

Astraware Mummy Maze Features:

- Excellent graphics
- True conversion from the web version
- Easy interface
- Sound effects
- Three play levels of difficulty, each with 15 chambers of increasing challenge
- Over 1250 unique mazes to solve!
- Ability to undo many moves, reset mazes and even show the complete solution
- High Scores
- Ranks to earn - work your way from 'Tomb Beetle' to the fabled 'Ultimate Explorer'

## How To Install

Use an extractor program such as WinZip on the PC or Stuffit Expander (on the Mac) to get at the Mummy Maze files. Install the game by double-clicking the .prc file, which opens the Palm Install Tool program.

Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your handheld. If you have a handheld with an expansion card, you can then move the game over to it. Do this before you register the game!

Now run Mummy Maze and tap the screen to play the game!

If you've got any queries about Mummy Maze or the registration process, first check out our knowledge base on our website (you must be connected to the internet to access this). If this doesn't help, get in touch with us at support@astraware.com. If you've got any questions (or suggestions, we love those) about the game itself, please get in touch with us at the email address at the top of this page.

## Playing Mummy Maze

Install and run the game on your Palm.

Tap the 'Instructions' button to get a quick reminder of what to do.

Tap the level you want to play (Easy, Average or Hard).

The explorer can only walk in straight lines vertically or horizontally, and you must guide him to the exit without being caught by the mummy. For each move you make the mummy will make two but he's very predictable so you can outwit him and make your escape.

To move the explorer you can either use the hardware buttons or tap on the square you want the explorer to walk to, if you tap on the explorer he will wait where he is standing and the mummy will take his move.

If the mummy catches you there are four options available:

- Reset the current maze and start it again.
- Start a new game.
- See the solution to the current maze, this will then take you back to the title screen once the solution is completed.
- Undo the last move so you can try a different move.

## Hidden Features

You can also control the explorer using the following graffiti characters:

Graffiti | Action
Caps Shift | Move Up
Space | Move Right
Backspace | Move Left
i | Move Down
Punctuation Shift | Wait
u | Undo

## Registering

In Demo form, you can play 5 games of Mummy Maze for free, as you decide whether you like it or not. After these games are up, the program will display a short message reminding you to register each time you play!
