H.E.R.O. Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation

The hardworking miners of "Mount Leone" have been locked in the lower pits of the cave system through sudden volcanic activities.
Our hero "Roderrick Hero" now starts for the search of the missing persons with his special equipment (backpack helicopter, integrated helmet laser and dynamite).
After a successful rescue you reach the next level.

The enemies

In the pits lurk different creatures such as spiders, bats, poisonous moths or snakes. To remove the vermin, you should use the laser. At some rivers, an invincible, hungry sea monster appears that constantly follows our hero. Some walls that contain magma sediments glow red and mustn't be touched.

The dynamite

The pits spread far vertically and horizontally into the interior of the mountain. Sometimes walls, which you need to blow away with dynamite, block the way. At the beginning of every level, the player gets 6 bars of dynamite. After the ignition Rod must move away fast or else he will lose a life.

The raft

A heat resistent raft can be used at some places to cross the lava river.

The lanterns

Lanterns light the dark pits. A shot or a touch is enough and the light goes out forever.

Energy display (Power)

The energy is filled up at the start of every level. When the full energy is used up, the player loses a life and starts again at the beginning of the level without filling up the dynamite supply.
