Move around the screen using the cursor keys, avoiding the monsters. To kill a monster dig a hole with the 'd' key and wait for a monster to fall in, then hit it on the head 3 times ('d' key again). If a monster climbs out of a hole it will turn nastier. To kill a green monster it must fall 2 levels, a white monster must fall 3 levels.
This game is a clone of the BBC Model B game Monsters. It was released as an arcade game by Universal in 1980 called Space Panic.
