Varmintz brings back classic "hop-and-dodge" style gameplay to keep you
moving. Help your Varmintz navigate 50 crazy levels, avoiding crazy enemies and
obstacles along the way!

Use your mouse or arrow keys to move Varmintz through each level – helping them
back to their Raccoon Den.

New Lane: 100 points
Picking Up Golden Eggz: 1000 points
Varmintz Den: 3000 points

Earn Extra Lives:
* For every 50 Eggz.

Checkpoints are safe zones and mark where you start a level if you lose a turn.

BONUS ITEMS:

Clock: Adds 5 seconds to Bonus Round.
Trash Can: Earn 10 Golden Eggz.
Ice Cube: Freezes enemies for 5 seconds.
Potion: Makes Varmintz invincible for a short period of time.

WORLD SELECTOR:

The World Selector lets you select levels to play inside Varmintz. You start
off the game with only 2 Worlds open. As you finish a World, more Worlds become
unlocked.


Troubleshooting
---------------

This software has been tested extensively to make sure it will operate
correctly for all users. If you experience system crashes, error messages or
other incorrect behavior, we suggest you first try one of the following:

1) Upgrade your computer's sound card drivers. This can be done by identifying
the type of sound card your computer is using and finding the manufacturer's web
site. Or, most drivers will be automatically updated if you follow step #2.

2) Upgrade DirectX. This is a Microsoft component and it includes special
drivers for video cards and sound cards for virtually every manufacturer. It is
therefore a very large download, but updating DirectX solves nearly all system
problems encountered with GameHouse games.
