How to play #

This is a ZX  Spectrum videogame. You can play it in a real ZX Spectrum 48 or 128 K computer or using an emulator. We recommend Retro Virtual Machine (RVM) for the second case. 

Instructions to play using RVM:

1. Download the TAP file.  There are 2 different versions: 48K or 128K
2. Open RVM, create or select a ZX Spectrum machine (we recommend 128K models such as +2/+2A if you want to enjoy music and extra contents). Open that machine.
3. Press the tape icon and insert (select) de TAP file by pressing STOP in the virtual cassette player.
4. Select the tape loader option and press ENTER.
5. Press PLAY in the virtual cassette player. 
6. The game will load, wait some minutes or press FORDWARD icon to accelerate the process.

Controls #

You can use keyboard or joystick (Kempston and Sinclair) to play the game. Control Pinwi with the joystick and shoot with the fire button. 
The snowballs will be thrown in the direction that we are pressing.  There are 5 possible directions: left, up, right and their diagonals.

Slide and dodge. 

By pressing the lower diagonals (down-left and down-right) the player will be able to slide sideways and dodge enemy shots in the meantime. During the slide you will not be able to shoot. Use it wisely. 

The keys are:

Q: Up                               O: Left 
P: Right A: DownSpace: Shoot
Please, download the instructions manual for more details about the gameplay.
