by : Bipedal Studios
In an attempt to spread chaos in the Gurgloo Kingdom, Saioruga stole the kingdom’s gems from the Diamond Palace and spread them all across the land! The citizens, wanting the diamonds for themselves, are stealing them while Saioruga takes his chance to take over the Palace. Chase, a Gurgloo security guard, has to make sure that the gems aren’t stolen, since they are the source of the kingdom’s energy. Looking at the situation, he has no choice but to travel across the kingdom and stop this mess before things go wrong.
Welcome to Chase and the Gurgloos, a game for the Mega Drive/Genesis! Here are some important things you should know before playing if you're lost.
Controls:
Control Pad: move Chase
A/B/C: place Pulzerion
Start: pause
Diamonds
Don't let the citizens steal them! If all of the gems get stolen, it’s game over! As levels progress, you start getting less diamonds to protect, making your mission harder.
Pulzerions and Warp Pads
Chase moves on top of an invisible grid. If you’re standing still or snapped to the grid while moving, you’ll be able to place a Pulzerion. These devices explode soon after you place them, leaving Warp Pads on the ground. When stepping on a Warp Pad, walking citizens teleport to your spawn point and become running citizens, which teleport to the Safe Zone instead. Once they enter the Safe Zone, they’re no longer a threat. If you step on your own Warp Pads or a citizen touches you, you lose an attempt. Warp Pads stay on screen for a limited amount of time. You can only place a Pulzerion if there are no Warp Pads on screen.
Attempts and Level Tokens
On each game of Chase and the Gurgloos, you start with three attemps. As mentioned in the previous section of this guide, certain events or conditions can make you lose an attempt. If all of the diamonds get stolen or you lose all three attempts, you’ll be taken to the game over screen. On this screen, you’re allowed to continue in exchange for a Level Token. This currency refills once you move to the next maze, so there are always three Tokens per level. Using a level token restores all of your attempts, but clearing a maze doesn’t.
PROTECT THE GEMS AND ENJOY THE GAME!
