Diamonds
Once the player has gathered up 100 diamonds, he receives another "CONTINUE", i.e. has the chance to continue the game after all lives have been lost. The maximom no. of CONTINUES is 5 (that means there are exactly 599 diamonds hidden).You can view the number of CONTINUES at the bottom left.
NOTE: There are no CONTINUES when the game is started.

The player has 3 lives at the start of each game. He can lose them in three ways:
1. Time, indicated on the display runs out. Thre screen display will announce TIME OUT.
2. The player has lost all of his energy. A loss of energy occurs every time the player touches an enemy or is hit by enemy fire.
3. The Player falls into an abyss.

If you lose a life the number of energy beams will default to 3. Surround, multiple, bounce and laser will be reduced - if not already at minimum strenght.
