How to Play

Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT keys to move your armadillo  to get all the coins  to beat each level.  Once you start rolling in a direction, you can't turn yourself until you are stopped. You have as many tries to beat a level as you want!

  • Press the # key to restart the level when stuck
  • Press the CLR key to pause the game and access the pause menu
  • Press the 1 or 3 key to toggle peek mode. When in peek mode, use the arrow keys to move the window. You can also press OK to return from peek mode to play mode.

You don't have to play each level in order, so jump around if you get stuck.  As you beat levels, new groups and new levels will be unlocked.  You can select a new group in the Select Group menu, or a new level in the Select Level menu, by pressing LEFT or RIGHT.  You can also scroll by group in the Select Level menu by pressing UP or DOWN. If the selected level is locked, you won’t be able to play it yet.

   

The game will be saved whenever you exit the game.  If there is a saved game, you’ll be able to select “Continue” from the main menu. 

Play each level over again to get a better time, or to beat it in less moves.  You can view how well you've done on all the levels in the Stats menu.
