The objective is to collect all the green gems on the pedestals, then escape through the giant double-doors that open.

As the name implies, you have a jetpack.  You have to get fuel to fly.  The fuel tanks look like big metal canisters.  A double-canister refuels you completely; a single canister refuels half of your gauge.

You also have a 'phase shifter' capable of temporarily allowing you to pass through a block.  It fires in the direction you hold, and can affect blocks directly adjacent to you.  Only certain kinds of blocks can be phased; brick walls can be phased, stone walls cannot.  Different kinds of walls phase at different speeds.

There are certain features in levels that can be interacted with.  Teleporter pads are represented by a colored line on the ground.  Force fields can be switched on and off via switches.  Look for a colored round blob either floating in the air or sitting on the ground; ones on the ground are floor switches and are activated just by walking over them.  Ones in the air are activated by pressing down.

Some stages have refuel areas that look like grids of pulsing squares.  Standing there will gradually refill your fuel.  One of the later stages has something that looks similar-but-distinct that drains your fuel instead.

You can increase or decrease the speed of the game with either the + and - keys on the keypad, or the = and - keys on the number row.  This means how fast you get through a stage is, to an extent, up to you and how fast you think you can react to what's in front of you.  Don't go to 9.

To avoid the dreaded GAME OVER, there's a cheat that gives you extra lives:  Hold TAB, 2, and L at the same time.  This only works during gameplay.
17
Testers note: After you have entered the stage just hold this down until you get 99 lives, you really don't want to game over.

One more tip:  Pressing SPACE during the stage intro/warp in sequence will speed it up.
