Ruff's Rough Ride Guide
Written by Arwen_undomiel1

This game is probably the one I enjoy most right now, because it's fun to play - the premise is goofy and the graphics are well done. The space theme also reminds me of Ziggy Stardust, so I play David Bowie while I'm playing the game.

So, GAMEPLAY:
You play Ruff Ruffman, a remarkably intelligent dog experimenting with a space simulation. In the game, you fly about in space looking for planets. You are given a certain number of PICKUPS to find within a time limit.

PICKUPS:
These include planets AND bonuses.

BONUSES:
Speed bonus - this looks like a floating blue engine, worth 10 points.
Health bonus - this is a floating blue wrench, worth 10 points.
Chinese food - a random bag of Chinese takeout(?!?) worth 50 points.

TIPS:
Some planets are worth more than others:
Gold one (with rings) = 25 points
Green one = 10 points
Purple one = 5 points
Orange one = 4 points
Blue one = 2 points

PLAYING SPACE: When I first began playing this, I thought there were only six spaces in which to search for planets. It turns out that there are eight. The extra two are below the bottom middle one in the six. The playing space looks roughly like this:
_
I_I = one space

_ _ _
I_I_I_I = entire playing space
I_I_I_I
I_I
I_I

OBSTACLES:
Try not to hit meteors or cats in space helmets. They have glowing red edges, so they are easily recognizable. Plus it is pretty difficult to mistake a cat for a planet.

Good luck and enjoy this wacky game!
