STORY
Three years ago, the planet Atlantis was under attack by a mechanized enemy. After a lengthy battle, the planet was saved, but many of their underwater cities were left in ruins and as the Atlanteans rebuild their world, significant areas are now uninhabited.
Rumours began to emerge of lost treasure in the depths, and so when Lady Mandrill got wind of this, she sent one of her top agents, Spectra, to Atlantis in search of these riches. Arriving at the planet, Spectra boarded the Baby Gulp and splashed down into the planet-wide ocean.
But beneath the waters lie many hazards...vicious creatures, toxic fumes and dangerous free-floating mines left over from the old war. She must carefully navigate the ruins and pick up the treasure before locating the bubble warp to escape.
HOW TO PLAY
The aim of the game is to collect 10 treasure chests and then escape through the bubble vortex. Move your submarine left and right with the O and P keys. Use Q to ascend.
HAZARDS:
JELLYFISH These stinging creatures will puncture holes in your craft with their tentacles.
POISON BUBBLES Filled with noxious gas, these bubbles will disrupt your oxygen supply and kill you.
GIANT CLAMS These clams burp out a fog of deadly acid into the water.
ELECTRIC PIPES Broken pipes that are still electrically charged can short out your submarine.
MINES Old war mines will explode on contact.
