Power Pyramids

History of Power Pyramids

The pyramids found on Earth were actually brought from the planet T-Pyge, who built and sold them to many other planets as well. Two transporters were needed to transport the pyramids to the planets, one for the structure and one for the power supply to keep it running. This was very expensive until it was decided to turn the pyramid off and turn it back on when it reached the customer. You have just transported four pyramids to Earth and are now tasked with powering up each one in this on-screen platformer.

Each pyramid varies in size from the smallest containing only 14 rooms to the largest containing 54.

How to play Power Pyramids

You send a spheroid to locate all the power points on each level within each pyramid, but you have no control over the spheroid except to make it bounce. The spheroid moves in one direction until it bounces off an object and moves in that direction, but touching objects loses its energy and when the energy is zero, you lose one of three lives. On each screen, you must control certain objects such as springs and moving platforms that, when timed correctly, will move the spheroid in the direction you need it to go.
