SCORING

To score points the parachutist needs to go through the hoops. Different colored hoops award different amounts of points.

Purple hoop ------ 10 points
Yellow hoop ----- 30 points
Orange hoop ----- 50 points

LOSING POINTS

There are two ways to lose points. 1. By going through a BLACK HOOP you will lose 30 points.
2. By hitting a bird you will lose 30 points, and you will be unable to get any more points for three seconds.

ALTIMETER

The altimeter indicates at what height you are. The altimeter helps you to decide when to open the parachute. Once it is open any hoops you go through will not give you any points. If you open it too soon you can press '7' to restart the level. If you reach the red area, it is too late for a safe landing and you will lose a life.

LIVES

You start off with three lives. There are two ways to lose a life. 1. If you do not open your parachute in time (red area).
2. If you do not land on the bulls eye.

When you are out of lives, it is game over.

COMPLETING THE LEVEL

To go to the next level you need to land on the bulls eye on the ground. If you do not land on it, no points will be awarded.

Level Score

Depending on how close you are to the center, your score of that level will be multiplied by a factor of 1, 5 or 10.

Outer ring ---------- Score * 1
Middle ring -------- Score * 5
Inner ring ---------- Score * 10

HIGH SCORE

Your high score is just the sum of all your level scores thus far. It is a hidden value that you get to see when it is game over.
