One Bite Too Deep is a multi-directional scrolling
arcade adventure which is viewed rather like Sabre
Wulf. You take the role of Oscar, a brave and fearless
adventurer who has been given special powers to allow
him to defeat the Master. The story goes that the evil
influences of the Master has broken out from his tomb
and are rapidly spreading. His servants have started
to run riot and have acquired a taste for human blood,
so you must be careful.
What
you have to do is search the landscape to find the Research
Station, the place where it's all happening, and enter
it. As you're searching for this awesome, place the
servants of that evil Master are searching for you .
. . and they tend to find you with ease. These horrendous
and frighteningly horrible servants come in the form
of giant vampire bats and huge floating green skulls.
Oscar
is looking for the Research Station
where it's all happening.
If
they touch you then they start sucking the blood from
your body. Your blood is shown on-screen as a bar which
diminishes as the blood is sucked out, needless to say
that if your blood bar reaches zero you're out of gas.
You're
not totally defenceless, and carry a knife which is
activated by pressing the fire button. If you hit one
of the servants it flies away for a short period of
time to recover. You also have a limited shield which
gives you immunity from the blood sucking powers of
the servants -- this works in the same way as the blood
bar and diminishes every time you use it.
If
you manage to find the Research Station and successfully
enter it, then you can begin your search for the five
objects which, if collected, allow you to defeat the
Master. There are 36 rooms inside the Research Station
and the objects are hidden randomly within its walls.
To pick up an object simply run over it.
Once
you've got all five objects, then you can complete your
objective by finding the Master's tomb and bricking
him in.
If
you manage to solve the game then you can always try
to do it again on one of the harder levels by changing
the difficulty option on the title screen.
