RICOCHET
========

Destroy the building blocks of the universe to stop dimension-5 becoming a white dwarf. 


THE GAME

Celestial intervention has disrupted the otherwise stable cosmos of Dimension -5, the 
world of subatomic particles, the building blocks of our universe. The intervention has 
caused these building blocks to multiply to a greater mass than the physical volume the 
universe can withstand. If the situation is not defused, by eliminating the excess 
blocks, it will implode to become a white dwarf the size of a universe. All space, time 
and matter as we know it will be sucked into oblivion, existence will cease to exist.

The W.A. L. L. (Wacky Atomic Lethal Layers) has to be destroyed by using your B.A.T. 
(Bi-Atomic Tracker) to direct the B.A.W.L. (Bi-Atomic W.A.L.L. Lopper) into collision 
with the individual blocks in the W.A.L.L. Behind you is the energy flux which powers 
your B.A.T.

If this is hit more than six times your B.A.T. is destroyed. A bonus B.A.T is given to 
you for every 10,000 units of critical mass destroyed. As you play extra equipment will 
appear on the screen to aid you in your task. Collecting it strengthens your energy flux 
to take more hits and the equipment improves your abilities to destroy the W.A.L.L.

PLUS ONE B.A.W.L.
MINUS ONE B.A.W.L.
EXTRA B.A.T.
POWERSHOT (to penetrate the wall further)
SPEED B.A.T.

Collide with the equipment to collect it.
