Introduction:

If there are any errors, problems, or comments please send mail to allie@minilegends.com or princesszelda@gmail.com. I appreciate the help, thanks!

How to Play:

    When the game starts you will see the start up page which gives you three options; start, options, or end. To choose anything within the menus you must use the enter key.

    The object of the game is to collect the crystals as shown at the beginning of every level while avoiding all crystals assigned as bad. Each level will have a different color to collect and different colors to avoid.

    If you collect a bad crystal then you will lose one heart. When you have lost all three of your hearts, the game will be over. To collect more hearts, you must collect four of the same color crystal. When this happens a heart will fly across the screen and you must obtain it the same way you would a crystal. The heart will add one to your life as well 1000 to your score. The maximum amount of hearts you may have at one time is three, but you will still collect points for each heart you obtain.

   There are a total of 10 levels. When you beat the last level the game will be over.

Notes:

   When speeding the crystals up a little icon will appear next to the fairy's life in the top right corner of the screen. It will have a number inside as to how many times you have increased the speed of the crystals; it will not go above 7.

   When you activate the bomb a picture of a bomb will show in the middle of the screen and cause all the crystals on the screen at the current time to disappear. You will only have three bombs for the whole game, so use them wisely. The number of bombs you have left is located in the little bag next to your life.

    If you go to the options menu, you have the option of turning the music* on and off, turning the sound on and off, changing the color of your fairy, selecting the difficulty, and the starting level. When you hit enter on the level select option a new screen will show all the level options. The box with a white rectangle around it is the level which you will start on when you select start from the main menu. If you want to pick a different level you need to hit enter on that level and make sure a white box appears around that level.
