Object: collect jewels without being hit by the lasers.

Click the board to let the system randomize the setup. Sixteen jewels will be dropped along with many walls (coloured squares) and a group of pretty stupid robots with lasers.

The laser rays permanently radiate from each of the robots in all four directions. The rays are blocked by the walls and the jewels. The robots make one step at a time into any of the four main directions. If a robot cannot move it will die (showing a black face with white lips and eyes). A dead robot does not move or emit laser rays.

Click an empty position to drop the man (yellow smiling face) of Player1. Plyer2's man will automatically dropped in a position which is symmetrical to the center. Also, the starting positions of the jewels and the robots are symmetrical to the center of the board.

Player1 can now make the first step by moving your man or by clicking the target position. Then it is Player2's turn to moves his man. You can slide over empty positions along the four main directions as far as you wish. You cannot step into a laser ray or go across it.

You lose if your are hit by a laser ray. You play until all jewels are collected or until the players agree to stop.

When all jewels are collected, the player with the most jewels wins. The collected jewels are displaye at the right border. I both have the same number of jewels, it is a draw. (The game also stops if one of the counting columns at the right border is full).

In rare cases a jewel might be enclosed in walls and therefor not immediately accessible by your man. For this case you carry one load of explosives with you. You trigger the explosive by first moving close to a wall, then onto the wall position. The position behind the wall must not be empty. The 'explosion move' will destroy the (up to three) neighboring pieces around your man.

Variant 2 uses 26 jewels.

Please note that there is an alternative (more colorful) piece set.
