Game Basics:

In this game you are the blue blumaroo. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the blumaroo around the screen. The object of the game is to change the color of tiles on the deck to the specified color. To see what color you have to change the tiles to win check the bottom right corner of the screen. [Note: sometimes (as you progress levels) you may need to change a tiles color more than once to get the right one. This is why you must check the bottom of the screen often.] To change a tiles color have the blumaroo hop on it. Your health is recorded on the green flag on the left side of the screen. As you lose health, the flag will lower. As it lowers it will go from green to red then a pirate skull and crossbones. The flag flying depends on how good your health is. Starting on level 2, there may be water on the screen. if there is avoid it! Jumping in it will cause you to lose health. Enemies will pop out of the floor. The enemies are : Cannons, Pirate Mynci, and Pirate Techo. If you bounce on the same square as an enemy, you will lose health.

Enemy Movement:

The cannons will usually will move back and forth and side to side on one tile. They are easy to avoid. The Pirate Mynci is a little more tricky then the cannon. It usually will stay in a corner blocking the spot you need to change tile colors, and it may be a waste of time getting them out of that area. Then there is the Pirate Techo. It follows you wherever you go, and is the easiest one to lure somewhere. But, it will take the most health. They dont start appearing until you have to turn tiles blue.
If a skeleton pirate appears, give it lots of space. It follows you too and can kill you instantly!

Items:

Swords will move around the deck. They do not harm you, rather they destroy bad guys. (woopee!) You cannot pick the swords up they will get the bad guys by themselves.

Collect as many treasure chests as you can, they will give you a value that may range from 50,75, or 100. There are also gold coins that will apear. They will also give you gold, however, you do not have to get every coin you see. It is not worth it. If it is in a corner one of the Pirates might trap you.

Scoring:

You get 1 point added to your score for each 10 treasures you collect. This is rounded up. Meaning; you dont have to run all the way across the screen to get a 5 dubloon coin to get a perfect treasure score of 100, because, a treasure score of 95 will get you a 10 point bonus to make it a score of 100 anyway. Getting that coin would just waste your time.
