Will you find the Star of Anan, lost in the depths of the ocean?  I doubt it, this game’s tough.  The story of the Star you seek was that it was taken down from the sky on Mount Foom my Anan whom sought it as a gift for his love, but it was soon lost to Undari and sank to the bottom of the ocean seemingly lost forever, the full tale can be recounted from the tomes found in the Ancient Library yonder.  It’s your job to recover that Star so it can be manipulated for Woo nefarious schemes.  How lovely.

The controls of this craft are pretty simple, but you’ve got to navigate some pretty tight areas and it can get quite dangerous.  The game also contains many objects that can either help or hurt you, shown below:

1. Red, Blue, and Green Orbs (three top left images) are basically keys.  Used to remove corresponding energy webs
2. Blue, Red, and Green Energy Webs (three bottom left images) are barriers until dispersed with the corresponding orb.
3. Shells (fourth on the top left-center) give you 500 points each.  At the end of the level, you can purchase extra lives (for 12 shells each), acceleration mods (12 shells ea), rotation mods (16 shells ea), and top speed mods (5 shells ea) for your pod.
4. Large Diamond (bottom left-center)
5. Rock Walls and Seaweed (top and bottom right-center) are barriers, avoid them or else.
6. Anemones (3nd from right, top) shoot orb-thingies at you, Blue Anemones (3nd from right, bottom) do too, and at a faster rate.  Avoid the anemones and their shots.
7. Booster Stars (bottom 2nd from right) boost your speed in the direction your heading.  Good for passing up enemies
8. Treasure Chests (top 2nd from right) are your goal, reach them to pass the level!
9. Transmitters (far right) a checkpoints, they bring to the transmitters location if you die.
10. Doors (not pictured) constantly open and close, time it right and you can make it through them unharmed.
11. Moving rock walls (not pictured) are just like regular rock walls only…  moving.  Watch their pattern and time your passage right.

At the end of each level, if you’re quick enough, you’ll get bonus points for completing the level quickly.

Sure, Star of Anan may be very difficult, but the strategy is actually quite simple, it’s the getting used to the movements of the craft that is difficult (for visual aid on craft movement, view this).  The main thing to do is take your time, go a speed that is comfortable for you (oh, course some times it’s appropriate to rush to avoid the dastardly anemones), the time bonus at the end of each level is no reason to rush.  When playing always go for the shells (well, only the shells that don’t put you in danger) especially in the earlier, easier levels, not only are they great for boosting your score, but they’re a lifesaver for buying lives (speaking of which you should always use them to buy lives, unless you already have lives maxed out and have plenty to spare, or you’re confident enough). If you do happen to upgrade acceleration, top speed, and rotation, I’d suggest upgrading them at the same time and a evenly, that way the craft’s movements aren’t imbalanced or awkward compared to the “default” settings.

Level Walkthroughs:

Speed walkthrough is for the fastest time through the level, avoiding unnecessary risks or points.  Points walkthrough is for picking up the most shells or prizes in the level.

Level 1

Speed: Follow the passage right, head downward to get the red orb, pass through the now open passage, when you come to the fork take the bottom path.  Get the green orb and pass through the open passage, taking the upper path.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Points: Head left through the secret passage then down, collect to diamond then return the way you came.  Go right and get the blue orb and pass through the now open passage, collect the 6 shells, return to the fork and get the red orb, go through the bottom passage, collect the 6 shells continue straight collect the 4 shells, turn around and head down the lower path, collecting the green orb , and take the lower fork to get the shell, then the upper fork.  Collect the 8 shells.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Level 2

Speed: Head up through the doors and take a left to collect the red orb, head right, then up to get the blue orb, head down then left/up to get the green orb.  Head back to where you got the blue orb (down, to the right, then up) and follow the now open passage and take a right up top.  Reach the chest. Done.

Points: Head up through the doors and take a left to collect the red orb.  Head right then up to get the blue orb.  Go down then left to collect the two orbs, then continue down then left (to where the red orb was) for another shell.  Go up to get the green orb and 6 shells, then go a little bit down and right for another shell.  Go down, right, then up and follow the passage, then take a left for 5 shells then go all the way right through the hidden passage (steady yourself so you’re not going left or right AT ALL, with your pod pointing directly up) slowly descend and collect the 9 shells, and go up the same way as you did going down.  Go left.  Reach the chest. Done.

Level 3

Speed: Grab the green orb and follow the path up then right, avoiding the purple anemone, Follow the passage down, avoiding another purple [anemone].  Grab the blue orb in the lower right by coasting down/right then quickly accelerating once almost touching it, watch the two purples.  Go left past the fork and follow the curve up then get the transmitter.  Head up then right.  Get the green orb in the niche by ascending on one side, moving over when the purple shoots, grabbing it, then quickly descending.  Continue right, then down, watching for the purples (3 on right side first, then 2 on the left at the end) continue left (there’s one purple).  Reach the chest.  Done.

Points: Grab the green orb and follow the path up then right, collecting the shell along the way, and the one in the upper left corner, watch the purple anemone.  Follow the passage down, collecting the shell in the path, avoiding the purple [anemone].  Grab the blue orb in the lower right by coasting down/right then quickly accelerating once almost touching it, watch the two purples.  Go left and go carefully up the fork to get 6 shells, go back out and continue left.  When you get to the small “cove” found along the curve of the passage, slowly descend through the hidden passage for 17 shells.  Head back out, follow the curve, get the transmitter and the shell next to it.  Take a left then right through the hidden passage above where the transmitter was (the break in the seaweed) for 9 shells.  Return.  Head up then right collecting the 2 shells.  Get the green orb in the niche by ascending on one side, moving over when the purple shoots, grabbing it, then quickly descending.  Continue right, then down avoiding the purples, getting the 5 shells spread along the right side (get them dropping in a down/right direction, grab them, then move left fast).  Continue left collecting the 3 shells in the path (watch for the one purple), go past the chest for 2 more.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Level 4

Speed: Watching for the purple anemone drop through the doors and head left to the far doors.  Pass through both doors and avoid the purple and grab the green orb by moving in for it between shots. Quickly head right past the 5 purples continue left past the to blues and a purple, then pick up the red orb, and pass through the opening in that heads down on the far right.  Then head right quickly past the blue, get the blue orb that’s next to the wall and head back left.  Continue left all the way until you hit a set of doors, which you pass through.  Immediately head down when past the doors and continue left.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Points: Watching for the purple anemone drop through the doors and head left collecting the 3 shells.  Risky: “Head up through the next doors, avoiding the two purples, collect the two shells on the left and right by quickly moving in for them between the shoots.” Continue to the far doors and pass through those and the ones after.  Avoid the purple an move left for the green orb (use the same technique as mentioned above), and head right past the 4 purples collecting the 7 shells (since you can’t catch them all on the first pass, take two).  Continue right past the two blue anemones and the one purple grabbing the red orb.  Risky: “Keep going and move to the floor and move at a good speed through crack, then slowly up around the bend the quickly back out (12 shells), avoid the shots of the two purples.” Head through the farthest opening to the right, collect all six shells that form an arrow, then head through the hidden passage that the arrow was pointing, grab the 26 shells, then head up through the doors.  Grab the blue orb and go quickly left past the blue, head left all the way back to some doors (collect the shell in a low corner along the way).  Once through the doors go down then right, collecting the 6 shells above.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Level 5

Speed: Coming Soon!

Points: Go left and get the shell in the upper corner, avoiding the purple anemone by getting it between the anemone’s shots (don’t do too fast at it though), repeat on the right, go up through doors watch out for the two purples, head right and get the shell in the upper corner using the above technique to avoid the purple, head through the next doors and go right and QUICKLY nab the blue orb, do your best to avoid the shots of the +10 blues in there, I’ve never survived. head up through the moving wall, by pacing yourself with the wall’s speed (or go through the narrow canal on the left).  Once out, head left to the area with 6 purples head quickly in, then directly out grabbing the red orb and the shell.  Go left then up, grab the transmitter, the pace yourself through the moving wall, once through avoid the 2 purples below, grabbing the green orb (don’t have a good strategy for this), then heading back out through the other end of the cover getting the one shell (watch the 1 purple above).  Grab the 3 shells at the tunnel end, then the other three in the lower left.  Head up (get the 3 shells on the left), and head through the two doors on the upper right, time yourself right to get through the disappearing walls, grabbing the two individual shells on the way, and avoiding the purple.  Head up through the doors (watch the purple) and collect the 8 shells by quickly running in and out between shots, Risky: “Head up, right, collecting the 8 more shells, avoiding the blue, and using the previous technique.”  Go left/up, collect the two shells, avoid the purple.  Reach the chest.  Done.

Level 6

Speed: Coming Soon!

Points: Drop, grab the one shell, go right.  Grab the 6 shells of the arrow and go down through the doors.  Quick go left, avoiding the 3 blues.  Down through the door and left.  be sure not to be accelerating up or down, and make a gradual approach of the star, zoom past the 6 blue through the next star and begin slowing down, grabbing the shell and the blue orb, head back out the way you came in, right, up, then left, (grabbing the 4 shells), then up.  once out the door you originally came in through, head left through the next door and make your way down at a moderate pace grabbing the three shells and the green orb.  Once you grab the orb quickly head right to avoid the blasts of 6 blues, and 2 purples.  Head up through the moving wall, then slightly right, then up, then left through more moving walls.  Follow the passage up through yet more moving wall, and continue right then down to get the red orb, then the three orbs in the upper left avoiding the 2 purples.  You’ve now made a small circle and should be heading back through the moving wall you last ran through, but sideways now.  Left you go and get the 3 shells sandwiched between the wall and star (go slow just in case you hit the star).  Go up and through the bend and down, avoiding the blue (how?  I don’t know ) and head through the far left passage when you come to the opening. Go up avoiding the 5 purples and 4 blues. Risky: “Grab the 4 shells in the upper right by quickly going in and out between shots.”  Head left, then slowly, slowly drop to the star, and accelerate through it (make sure you’re still heading down) to avoid the 8 blues, yet avoid crashing into the wall.  Go up the left side of the hairpin curve, then head quickly up, avoiding the 4 blues.  Risky: “Grab the 9 shells in the passage, I don’t know how, though.” When you go up the final curve stay on the left to start (to avoid the blues) then gravitate right so you can head through the crack (ya, that one you couldn’t thread a needle through, especially at the speed you’re going), once through the crack desperately head left.  Reach the chest…  before the blues’ shots reach you.  *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Done.  “Whew”
