11 Instructions The object of the game is to reunite the numbers with their answers. You do this by jumping up and bumping a number icon. You will enter into a problem. Jump up and hit the digits of the answer. This will give you more slime. Don't answer wrong or a Gruzzle will appear! Look at the bottom of the screen. You will see a math problem. Find the garbage truck with the matching answer and touch it for points. There are secret bonus points that you can get. Be sure to pick up toys for points. Garbage cans protect you from Gruzzles. Don't let the Gruzzles near you.They will try to steal your garbage can lids! When you see a Gruzzle, point him out to Benny. If Benny has any slime he will slime the Gruzzle. If you answer a number problem, Benny will have more slime to pour on Gruzzles. Note that elementary school students are not expected to collect all the number icons before advancing to the next level. Nor are they expected to find and explore all the secret levels. They should be playing on EASY level. Older players will want to go to the main menu and set Difficulty to Medium or Hard. Choose 'Difficulty' from the Game Options menu to customize the program. Easy: You only have to collect 10 icons before the door to the next level opens. Gruzzles leave to take a bath when you slime them You get a slime for every problem you solve. Gruzzles are not very good at chasing you. Medium: You must collect all icons. Gruzzles go away when you slime them and do not come back. You get a slime for every problem you solve. Gruzzles are pretty good at chasing you. Hard: You must collect all icons. You get a slime for every 2 problems you solve. Gruzzles steal a lid when they touch you. Gruzzles are very smart. After you choose difficulty you can choose the type of problems you want (add, subtract, etc.). In Episodes 2 and 3 you can choose multiplication and division also. If you want to skip solving the problems and just play the game you can choose "Skip Problems" on the difficulty menu. You won't get the extra points for solving the problems. You have to reset "Skip problems" each time you start the game. Teachers and Parents: You can disable the "Skip problems" option by running the program like this one time: MR1 LEARN This permanently disables the "Skip Problems" option. After you have done this once, the "Skip problems" options does not appear on the menu. The only way to reverse LEARN is to re-install the whole program from the original disk.
