The Story:
You have been captured by a group of insane scientists
who have decided that their mad scientist lives aren't quite mad enough.
They have devised a sort of game where you are the player and they are
the spectators. You have been held hostage in an abandoned prison with
your one main objective: ESCAPE! You are given only two things: a set
number of tracks and a bomb. You must carefully construct a path with
these tracks and roll your bomb along it. After your bomb has charged
all the generators in the room it must head for the door and blow it up.
This game is for their enjoyment, and they are watching as you struggle.
Do you have what it takes to escape?
Using a "point & click" interface, the game play is incredibly straight-forward. The puzzles are the challenging part, and they increase with difficulty as the game progresses. The object of the game seems simple, but do not be deceived. You use your mouse to lay tracks and then you roll your bomb over them, the tracks change the direction of the bomb, and you must interact with special objects on the levels in order to complete your task. The instructions are explained in MUCH greater detail in the game's in-game help screens.
