50 NP per 100 points

To honour his beloved Nabile, Jazan ordered his finest craftsmen to create 100 golden statues to present to her on her birthday. Rumour has itthat they are being stored in the Qasalan Royal Treasury until that day. Heermeedjet and Merouladen have also heard this rumour, and have hatched a devious plan to infiltrate the treasury and steal the priceless statues forthemselves. The treasury, however, is a complex maze, full of dangerous petpets, and is considered quite perilous. Only with a great deal of cunning and speed will the two Meerca brothers manage to pull off the heist before the guards arrive!

It's finally time to help the bad guys get what they want! Guide Heermaeedjet and Merouladen through the Qasalan Royal Treasury and steal the golden Nabile statues by using the mouse or arrow keys. Before the game starts, choose between the two different control options by clicking 'controls' on the main game screen. The mouse controls are the easiest to use, but the arrow keys are recommended for users playing on a laptop.

The aim of the game is to bring all the statues to the ground. To do this, hover the mouse (or press left or right is using arrow controls) over one of the Meerca Bros and move the mouse up or down (or press up or down if using arrow controls) to guide them along the rows of crates. The character you are controlling will have a whitish glow around him to indicate that he is selected.

To move rows click anywhere on the row or on the Meerca Bro (press space if using arrow controls). Only rows that have statues in them are moveable. If a Meerca Bro can move a row, he will have a golden glow around him. Each statue is worth twenty-five points. Once all the statues are pushed down the level will end, and one point will be awarded for every second you had left to finish. Remember that the rows are being pushed, not the statues, so if there is a gem, coin, or hourglass directly to the right of a statue, it's unattainable.

The Royal Treasury also has many wonderous items for you to steal for extra points or extra time, but beware of the traps that are also present.

IMAGE	NAME	DESCRIPTION
	Nabile Statues	These are the golden statues that the Meerca Bros want to steal. Push these to the bottom to gain twenty-five points each.
	Gem	These priceless gems will give you 50 bonus points if a statue is pushed onto it.
	Coin	This rare coin will give you 10 bonus points if a statue is pushed onto it.
	Lyins	These petpets will devour things of value. If one eats a statue, you lose ten points.
	Hourglass	If a statue is pushed onto it, t his hourglass will give you ten extra seconds to complete the level.
	Lever	If a statue is pushed onto this, the rows above and to the right of it will be shifted.
	Geb	If a statue is pushed onto this petpet, it will fall breaking crates until it hits the bottom or a solid rock.
	Rock	These rocks are unable to be eaten by a Lyins or broken by a Geb.

Levers are tricky and annoying. Only use them if there is nothing but crates under a statue and no other way to get them down.

When you land on the Geb, it will knock the statue all the way to the bottom unless it is stopped by another statue or a cement block. This is a good bonus. Sometimes it may knock you through a whole vertical row of wooden blocks, leaving a path for you to use to get your statues to the bottom. Another good thing about the Geb is that it will destroy an of the Lyins that are in the way. While it helps get the statue to the bottom, you may or may not get points for any coins (golden or green) that you crash through or any of the time clocks.

Using a Geb is a great way to finish the level quickly, especially if it goes all the way down. Use one statue to make a clear shot to the bottom and then quickly push the others down before the Lyins' come and ruin this opportunity. Doing this will result in a large time bonus.

Every once in a while, a Lyins will come and block the only way down. If this happens either wait for it to move, use a Geb to go down farther than where it is, or activate a lever. Most of the time they'll move out of the way soon enough.

Levels

Each level gets a little bit harder than the last, as there are either more statues to move, or less time to move them in.

LEVEL	# OF STATUES	TIME (seconds)
1	4	90
2	5	90
3	6	90
4	8	60
5	10	60
6	12	60
7	15	45
8	20	30
9	20	30

Level 1 There are four statues you have to transport to the bottom of the screen and you have 90 seconds to do so. Usually there are about two or three golden coins you can collect to boost your score. Try for a score of 130, without the time bonus. When the time bonus is factored in, you should have a little under 212 points.

Level 2 You have 90 seconds to get 5 status to the bottom. Again, there will be bonuses you can use,
which will help boost your score. Try to aim for a score over 390.

Level 3 Get 6 status down in the time span of 90 seconds. Try aiming for a score of 680. Most people, who factor in bonuses, may get score of 700. Remember that the quicker you get all of the statues to the bottom, you get a time bonus. The remainder time you have left, but that does not mean get them to the bottom without any bonuses. The bonuses are there for you to use, use them.

Level 4 Unlike the 2 and 3rd round where there were more statues to get to the bottom, but the same amount of time, you will see that with level 4 you will have a shorter amount of time. There are now 60 seconds on the clock and 8 statues. Use the time wisely. If you see that there is a time bonus near one of your statues, get to it. This will add 10 seconds to the clock and you need all the time you can get. Your score thus far should be at least 870... if not higher. If you have a score lower than 800 and are trying to go for a trophy, think about starting over.

Level 5 10 statues, 60 seconds. A score of 1200 would be acceptable thus far.

Level 6 You have 60 seconds to get 12 statues to the bottom. A score of 1600+ is what you should be aiming for this round.

Level 7 We have another change. The amount of statues get higher, but the time decreases. There are 45 seconds in this round and you have to move 15 statues. By level 7 you should aim for a score of 2000+. A couple of months ago, if you had 2000 points at the end of this level, you would receive 1000 nps, but TNT has made some changes to the nps. to points ratio. Because of this change, if you were to have a score of about 2126, you would receive only 744 points.

From this point on things will get a little harder. The number of statues rise and the time decreases. Due to the amount of statues you have, there will be more Lyins on the final two boards. You are more than likely to lose points on these final boards also. Take your time.

Level 8 You have 30 seconds to move 20 statues.

Level 9 (The last level) You have to get 20 statues down in 30 seconds. If you have not used the time bonus, caperiffic, use it now.

Tips to Win

Try playing the game on a smaller screen. This makes it easy for you to control the movement of your mouse. It also helps make the game run faster.

In later levels, do not go for bonuses unless they're en route to the bottom.
Use a Geb only if it will go all the way down or will come very close.
Use the time cheat codecaperiffic when you are up to level 7+
If you get to level 9 only to see that it is impossible to move or that there is a path, but the Lyins keep popping up... end the game. Though you might not want to feel like a loser, would you rather lose 10 points from an already high enough score, or submit the score you have and get the trophy you want?
Most likely the Lyins come 10 seconds into the start of every round. So if possible, try to complete the round before they get there.
It is up to you whether or not you would rather play with or without the sound. Sometimes the sound can be very distracting, but it can help to alert you when you are losing points because the Lyins are snatching the statue.
The best thing to do when you get to level 9 is to clear a path leading to the bottom. This is where the Gebs come in handy.
Try to avoid having gems removed by the gebs.
When stuck, try using a lever. There is a 50/50 chance of something good happening. Why not take a risk?
If you need to stack all of your statues on top of one another, try doing so on a stone. Levers and Lyins are able to break through the wooden boxes, but can not get through the solid stones.

Don't be too greedy. If you made a path to the bottom of the page, but there are still coins and other bonuses on the page, let them be. You will get a higher score for the time bonus.

There is no avatar for this game, but a score of about 3,365 will get you a trophy.
