📜️ "blabla" 📜️
This game is a homage to H.E.R.O. from John Van Ryzin, published by Activision in 1984.
This version contains 20 completely new levels.
Introduction
The hardworking miners of Mount Leone have been locked in the cave system through sudden volcanic activities.
Our hero Roderick Hero now starts for the search of the missing persons with his special equipment (backpack helicopter, integrated helmet laser and dynamite).
After a successful rescue, the player reaches the next level.
Power
The energy is filled up at the start of every level. When the full energy is used up, the player loses a life and starts again at the beginning of the level.
Dynamite
The pits spread far vertically and horizontally into the interior of the mountain. Sometimes walls, which Rod needs to blow away with dynamite, block the way. At the beginning of every level, the player gets 6 sticks of dynamite. After the ignition, Rod must move away fast or else he will lose a life.
Laser beam
The player can use the laser to kill the enemies. The laser can also be used in place of dymanite to evaporate a wall, though this method takes about 10 seconds.
Enemies
In the pits lurk different creatures such as spiders, bats, poisonous moths or snakes. At some rivers, an invincible, hungry sea monster appears, constantly following our hero. Some walls that contain magma sediments glow red and must not be touched.
Lanterns
Lanterns light the dark pits. A shot or a touch is enough and the light goes out forever.
Raft
A heat resistent raft can be used at some places to cross the magma river.
Scoring
Points will be awarded according to the following table:
50 Shooting an enemy
50 For every dynamite stick left at the end of a level
75 Removing a wall
1000 Rescuing a miner
The player will also earn extra points based on the power remaining at the end of a level.
Every 20000 points, the player earns an extra life.
