The object of the game is to clear the play area of all monsters and cherries.
Unfortunately the monsters are trying to prevent Dinky from reaching this
goal. To defend himself Dinky can try to avoid the monsters, but this is very
often fruitless.

However, all is not lost, for Dinky can throw his crystal ball at THEM. The
ball travels in the direction he is running and kills the monsters on impact.
The crystal ball may not always return immediately, so he must be sure that
every throw counts.

A second defence is to run beneath an apple allowing h to fall on a pursuing
monster. But timing is critical and beware - Dinky may get flattened himself.

The ultimate prize for Dinky is the lime cake at the centre of the play area.
Caution must be used in claiming the cake as it marks the entrance to the
monsters' lair.

After completing a play area, the following play area will be even faster and
more challenging!
