Collect all the 6 ZeLeLi pearls in sequence, in a stage, and conquer all the
monsters to open the portal to the next stage.
New opponents keep
appearing, so stay alert!
If a dangerous monster attacks you, Niki will
lose a life.
Barbs can hurt both Niki Ball as well as Niki
Rock.
If you lose all available lives, the game
will be over.
If you linger for a long time in a stage, it
will get flooded. If the stage gets filled to the top, you lose a life.
You will not lose any lives if you fall into
an abyss: Niki will only reappear at the upper margin of the stage.
If you leave the screen on the left or right
margin, you will again appear on the opposite side, so make sure in advance
that there are no monsters lurking there.
If you finish a stage particularly quickly,
you will receive a valuable medal! Collect every individual medal to gain
complete mastery over the game.
ZeLeLi amulet
Some opponents can be
conquered as a rock only. Look for the ZeLeLi amulet to convert
Niki Ball into Niki Rock. As a rock, Niki is not only protected
against monster attacks, he also becomes much slower and
heavier. If the water comes up to your neck, you can dive down
in the shape of Niki Rock.
Fireball
If Niki touches this item,
he will be transformed briefly into a fireball. As a fireball,
not only is Niki invincible, he can even scale unexpected
heights.
