Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

In Complex the player needs to cross different labyrinths within a limited time. In each level there are new tasks to solve. E.g. in the 1st level he has to find a key to open a locked door and on the way pass a walrus which blocks the way. But as the player is equipped with a plasma weapon, this problem is solved quickly. In the 2nd level you need to chase notes which move freely in the cave system. One way streets hamper the player. Level 3 is similar to a zoo. In later levels you need to activate teleports. If you have collected all items in the game or respectively solved all tasks you need to find the exit. This is a bit simpler if you take the overview map as a help. 

Design 

The game is designed in very soft animated "dungeon" pseudo-3D grphics, even changes of direction are made fluently. The monsters and items are made of two-coloured sprites which are augmented in fine stages when nearing the player. The whole thing makes an extraordinary good 3D-effect for a C64 and is occupied by sound effects. 

Menu 

In the menu you have the possibility to enter a four-digit code. This is done by joystick in port 2. If you do not enter any code, you start in the first of altogether 30 levels. 

Announcment screen 

On this screen you are told what you need to find in this level, the name of the level and which code it has. Furthermore there is a short information about all enemies in the level. 

In the game 

There are "mysterious" question mark symbols, which have several functions: 
Changes the one-way street arrow 
Adds points 
Raises shooting power (up to three stages) 

Controls 

You steer with joystick in port 2 and shoot with the fire button. 

When pressing the Space -key the whole labyrinth with monsters and treasures is shown. This costs a few seconds of time. 

With the left arrow key the game can be paused 
With the key Run-Stop  it is aborted
