Part 5 - The Escape Bonus
Bonus Life |
The Escape bonus is only in the game for extra points and bonus lives. This
is pretty handy, because if you know where they are hidden you can get a bonus
life every area. That's more than you can get through points alone. The name
of the bonus comes from the company Escape, whom the game was licenced by. ESC
and ESCAPE also appear in the default high score table.
Each letter of the Escape bonus appears in order, so if you miss the E on round 1, you'll find it on round 2 instead of the S. This continuation also runs across credits, so if the last person who played picked up the C before finishing, you can start your game and pick up a quick bonus life.
To activate the bonus, you have to throw an axe at the particular point in the round. You can also jump at the point, in which case it will appear slightly to the right of where it would have been had you used an axe. This is handy if you don't have the axe or you're on the skateboard and just miss the axe point. The E is worth 1000 points, the S is worth 2000 points, and the C is worth 3000 points.
