Outline of Play

You move Mr. Do! around the screen, eating cherries and being chased by various monsters. You are armed with a ball which you can throw at the monsters to kill them. You can also kill monsters by dropping apples onto them, but be careful not to squash yourself!

Periodically, a letter emerges from the top of the screen. If you can kill enough letters to spell out the word EXTRA, you are awarded an extra life.

When you have finished the "scene", typically by killing all the monsters, a new, harder scene starts.

The object of the game is to score as many points as possible. Points can be scored in the following ways:

• Eating cherries. Score 50 points each, or 850 for a complete block of eight cherries in one go.
• Shooting monsters. Score 500 for hitting any monster with the ball.
• Squashing monsters with apples. You score 1,000 points for squashing a monster by pushing an apple onto it. You score more points if you can squash several monsters in one go.
• Eating the food. Once all the red monsters have left the "nest", the food in the nest is up for grabs. As you progress through the scenes, you score more points for the food.
• If you manage to find a diamond (very rare!), you score 8,000 points.

You can be killed if any monster catches you. You also die if an apple falls on you, whether self-inflicted or pushed onto you by a monster. You have three lives, but further lives can be won by shooting letters.

A scene can be finished in any of the following ways:

• Killing all the monsters.
• Eating all the cherries.
• Killing a letter to spell EXTRA (awards extra Mr. Do!)
• Finding a diamond (awards extra game.)
