Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. On the Planet Earth, the alien Flying Saucers are abducting humans from the Bradley Farm.

Answer: False

Humans are being abducted from the Bentley Farm. After several times through this level, you should be able to rescue all of the humans, except for the first farmer.

2. On Planet Snoth, the cold planet, Otto must take two ski rides behind the water dragons.

Answer: True

Besides the ski rides, Otto must float over the toxic water in a bubble after each landing. It is not possible to rescue all of the humans. An interesting variation is to ignore the direction arrows and take the side routes.

3. The major obstacle in getting through the Slime Boss is fighting the large number of Big Brain Aliens.

Answer: False

There are no Big Brain Aliens on the Slime Boss level. It is very easy to get disoriented and hop your way right back to where you started. You should be able to rescue all of the humans on this level.

4. Planet Knarr is the first Planet where Otto must rescue the Coed humans.

Answer: False

Planet Knarr is the first Planet to rescue the Scientists. It is easy to get lost on this dark and multi-hazard level. You are fortunate if you can escape with more than one reserve life. Many of the humans are not able to be rescued.

5. Planet Rennie has two Bumper Car obstacles.

Answer: True

For me, this is the most fun Planet. The two Bumper Car rinks, the flying sled, and cloud hopping are a welcome change from Planet Knarr. Finding Bonus Land was not easy, and it took several runs before I discovered how to get there. This is the first planet for the Coeds.

6. On the Jungle Planet Sulak, the only way to kill the dinosaurs is to have Otto drink the Growth potion and then zap the critters with the Freeze Gun.

Answer: False

The dinosaurs are not easy to kill, but it can be done with many shots of the Flame Thrower or use a Supernova. Drinking the Growth Potion is the only way to smash the gates or the jungle huts.

7. After the rocket ship is captured by the Tracker Beam, the Hairdressers are the only humans in the Pitcher Planet area.

Answer: False

The Scientists, Farmers, and Hairdressers are wandering around while Otto tries to destroy the Pitcher Plant and disable the Tracker beam. Hopping to the top leaf to get a shot into the Pitcher Plant takes many tries.

8. Planet Deniz, Fire and Ice, holds the humans in large ice blocks. Otto can break the ice blocks using his Power Punch.

Answer: False

The Power Punch has no effect on the ice blocks. It is an effective way to destroy the giant Ice Men. This Planet is difficult in that you must have shots ready for the Big Brain Aliens and the Giant Hammers on the last level before entering the Flying Saucer.

9. Planet Shebanek, POW camp, can only be reached by Otto operating the alien Flying Saucer.

Answer: True

After Otto enters the Flying Saucer at the conclusion of Planet Deniz, he manuevers through the four POW areas to beam up the humans. The most humans I have ever been able to rescue is 66.

10. The major weapon used to defeat the Giant Brain on Planet X is the trusty Dart.

Answer: False

There are no darts on this final level. The Flame Thrower is the easiest way to defeat the Brain. Picking up the humans afterwards is easy since there are no Flying Saucers to abduct them. After I reached the Final Screen the first time, I made a screen shot of the humans thanking Otto and posted it on the wall above the computer.

The best score I have had after two years of playing the game is 1,069,000. This is really a great game.
