About this game
Rock Man combines side-view movement with room-by-room logic puzzles. Collect every pink moth, then reach the flag after it turns red. Gray rocks stay fixed, green rocks can be pushed, and a careless step onto lava ends your attempt.
Ropes and pickaxes let you change the route, but they have limits. A pickaxe removes a green rock in front of you; a rope rises until it meets an obstacle. Crumbling bridges and loose pebbles make the order of your moves important.
This is version 1.3, a 1996 revision of the game first released in 1994. The shareware package has fifteen puzzles, a practice demonstration and solutions to the first three. The registered edition’s thirty-five puzzles are not included.
