Press UP on the joystick at the title screen to add credits. This is also buried in the manual. The manual text is on the PP HD version at 8bitchip.com |

Press the INSERT key to start the game and to insert more players. This is TINY in the instruction manual.
Also, even the blitter version of this sucks, play Gauntlet 2 |

Interesting combination of Pacman and Breakout type games. Seems pretty hard. And looks good.
Here can DL it, with update what makes control working on all TOS versions:

This is just another example for that good coding is not enough for making really good game. Beside being complete unoriginal it is really not some great pleasure to play - or in other words - not addictive. Transitions are too long. Will not say more, except: simple shooter should be runnable faster (not play speed self), not long waiting after death, and like. This is just too infected with demo coding :-) |

V 1.11 - ball is here, but where's the sound ???

Correction synth mentioned in ST NEWS https://demozoo.org/productions/153552/ |

I may be wrong but does this not use JMP soft synth mentioned in a Maggie article rather than protracker? Also fun fact, there seems to be a map editor built into this demo, my 4 year old discovered it whilst mashing keys!

This is a port of a Titus-published game for Super NES that was originally known as The Brainies -- you can play that version on the Interplay Collection 2 cart for the Evercade handheld. A later rerelease for DOS saw it renamed to The Tinies. It originally had nothing to do with the Skweek series! |
