Game Scenario
Look out! Those things are after you!

Now you've gotten yourself into a pretty mess. You were told to stay away from that warehouse, that strange things happened there. Why, people had even heard bump sounds emanating from the building after dark!

Did you listen? Noooooo! Now you are faced with the task of corralling these things that you set free with your clumsy entry into the building. Those three packing crates that you knocked over as you came through the window seem to have been occupied...

Make sure that you box the things in so tightly that they can't budge an inch, and then get out of there! From the looks of some of those things they could be carnivorous!!!


Key Definitions
How to Play the Game...

Your objective is to trap the spinning, mushy, and whirly things in the least amount of time possible. Trapping all the things on level one will move you to level two. Trapping them on level two will move you to the third and final level. Trapping all the things here will qualify you for the SqueezePlay hall of Fame if your cumulative time for all three levels is faster than any of those posted by the 10 best players to date.

Moving the Player

Moving the player is accomplished by pressing the arrow keys. Four way movement is supported, press the up arrow to move the player up, the down arrow to move the player downwards, etc....

Trapping the Things

Trapping the things is accomplished by corralling them with the blocks strewn about the playfield. The player can push multiple blocks at a time, in fact he can push many times his own weight in blocks (it's said that adrenalin can make one stronger) and never tire or slow down.

A thing is trapped when it can no longer move in any direction. Be careful of the cracks between blocks arranged diagonally, the things can squeeze through these cracks and make a play for you! While you are limited to movement in four directions, the things can move in eight.
