Dam Buster

** Dam buster **

The basic principle

On the top half of your screen you see a dam, consisting of four layers of nine large blocks each.Each layer is a different colour, from top to bottom: red, yellow, blue and pale green.

In the centre ofeach layer there's a maintenance worker; they have to try and keep the dam intact while the opponent is trying to shoot a hole through the dam (Dam Buster 1) or destroy it completely (Dam Buster 2).

The attacking party

A projectile comes from the general direction of the dam, moving towards the bottom of the screen. There, in the centre, is a movable shield. If the projectile hits that shield, it will bounce back towardsthe dam. When it hits the dam, it will destroy one or more blocks. The attacking party controls the position of the shield.

The defending party

The other player controls the maintenance workers with his handset. To restore the damage, the maintenance workers first have to move to either side of the dam to gather energy and collect building materials. You can easily see when they're ready for action because they are literally blazing with energy.

When a hole has been shot in one of the layers of the dam, the workers have to rush over and fill thathole as quickly as possible.
