How To Play
The Dome is a tutorial level. Here you can learn how to control Daarwind.
Daarwind has two modes:
Normal Mode
In this mode you can walk, run, jump and use objects.
Fight Mode
In this mode you can launch a twister (wind attack) and a ray of wind in snipper mode.
Daarwind walks faster and can lock enemys and some others items.
You can return to normal mode by using de Fight Mode pad or by jumping.
Lifts
You must shoot in the pipes to activate the lifts.
Mage
In this level you will find two pedestals. By walking to one of this, the mage will appear and will tell you what to do.
The Big Island
On the top of this island there is a training area. Talk with the mage and then go to the center of the fighting area: holograms will appear. Shoot them. Be careful: the second time they will shoot at you!
The Workshop (flying island)
You must go to the biggest island, switch to Fight Mode and snippe the Workshop: the island will begin to fly around the dome. You must jump on it.
In the little shop you can find Kazzo: he will give you the booster.
The Booster
To use the booster, go near it and press the 'action' button (in normal mode). You can fly by using the 'jump' button.
The Teleporter
To activate it, find a red button and press it...
