INSTRUCTIONS
GREENIES ======== J0-E (Janitor grade 0 - electronic, or Joey for short) is a somewhat outdated maintenance droid who has reached the pinnacle of his career as general dogsbody aboard the garbage scow ISS Unbearable. Today his task is to paint the cargo holds of the ship. Unfortunately, it's a fact of life in the universe that where you have garbage, you have Greenies. These amorphous creatures are non-agressive and generally harmless, but their bodies conduct electricity and Joey's insulation is long overdue for replacement, so any contact with them will cause a short circuit. Joey is controlled by the joystick and by default has his paint spray switched on. Holding down the fire button will turn of the paint spray and allow Joey to move faster. The object of each level is simply to paint all the floor tiles without running into any of the Greenies. Points are earned for each tile painted, and a bonus and an extra life are awarded when a level is completed. Once you have started Joey moving, he cannot be turned around until he is centered on the next tile, but you CAN change his speed between tiles. In theory this means that if you get the rhythm correct you can 'jump' from tile to tile, keeping the fire button down to move quickly and only releasing it as Joey reaches the next tile. In practice, whenever I try this I miss some, but you may have more luck.
