Ruff and Reddy in the Space Adventure/Walkthrough

You will first have to connect your Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit system or Commodore Amiga (and cassette recorder for the ZX, CPC and C64 versions) to your television, then switch all three (or both, for the Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions) of them on; you will then have to place the cassette (or disk for the Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions) of Hi-Tec Software's Twilight-developed (and Enigma Variations/PAL Developments -redeveloped) 1990 platform game Ruff and Reddy in the Space Adventure into the cassette recorder (or the console itself, for the Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions), type LOAD "" (without leaving a space between the quotation marks!), and press Enter to load the program into the console (or wait for it to load automatically, for the Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions). In the ZX version, you'll now have to press either 1 for keyboard control, 2 for Kempston joystick control (if connected) or 3 for Interface II control (again, if connected) - but in the CPC version, you can type DYLAN (as in "Bob") on the start screen for infinite lives (the text of "CHEAT ON" will appear at the top of it once you have done so). However, in the C64, Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions you will just have to press Space (or the button on the joystick, for the Atari 8-bit and Amiga versions, because it is all they support) to start the game.



Area 1
Time: 4:00 Lilli-Punies: 6 The game's first area is in the top-left corner of that map above; once Ruff has appeared on the screen, you will have to jump onto the first platform and collect the apple, for 50 points, then jump onto three more platforms in turn (and over the unicycling robot), onto the fifth platform and an asteroid that is moving back and forth in turn, and up to rescue the first Lilli-Puny (for 100 points). You shall then have to jump to the left onto a sixth platform (and over another unicycling robot), drop down under a hovering robot onto a mushroom on a seventh platform, and jump up to the higher ledge of the platform to rescue the second Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you shall now have to drop back down to your starting position, retrace your steps back up to the fourth platform, jump over a spherical hovering robot to land on another mushroom (and another spherical hovering robot to land on an eighth platform), collect the olive for 50 more points, jump onto a third mushroom on a ninth platform, and rescue the third Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You'll then have to drop down to the ground, jump to the left onto a tenth platform (while a third unicycling robot is moving to the left!), and rescue the fourth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you shall then have to jump back to the right, drop down into a hole (while two more spherical hovering robots are moving to the right), and rescue the fifth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You shall now have to jump up a (six-step) staircase to the right of the hole (while the third and fourth spherical hovering robots are moving back to the left), over a fourth unicycling robot and up another three-step staircase, drop down into a second hole, collect a second apple for 50 more points, jump over two more unicycling robots, walk under a fifth spherical hovering robot as it moves up, jump over a sixth spherical hovering robot as it moves down (and onto another asteroid, that moves back and forth), and then jump onto a twelfth platform to rescue the sixth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you shall then have to drop down to the ground, jump over an eighth unicycling robot and walk off the right side of the screen. The text "LEVEL COMPLETE. BONUS FOR TIME REMAINING. 50000 POINTS BONUS." will now appear as you receive 10 points for every second you have remaining (and the 50000-point bonus); Ruff will now proceed onto the second area which is somewhat larger than this one.

Area 2
Time: 7:00 Lilli-Punies: 9 The game's second area is on that right side of that map, and once Ruff has reappeared on the screen, you will have to drop down to the higher step of the platform below him, the mine cart, the lower step of the platform and the ground in turn; you shall now have to jump over two worm-like robots when they are both moving to the left and jump up to rescue the first Lilli-Puny for 100 points. You shall then have to jump back over the two worm-like robots when they're both moving back to the right, up to each of the six steps of a staircase in turn, onto a third platform (when a hovering robot is moving up!) to collect a diamond for 50 points, onto three more platforms (when the aforementioned hovering robot is moving down) in turn and up onto each of the three steps of a second staircase (when a spherical robot's moving down) in turn to rescue the second Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you will now have to drop down to a seventh platform to collect another diamond for 50 more points (while another hovering robot is moving down), drop back down to the platform that you started on, the one below it, and another mine cart in turn, jump up to the first and second steps a third five-step staircase's left side in turn and over another spherical robot when it moves down, drop down to the fourth and fifth steps of the right side of the staircase in turn (when one unicycling robot is moving to the right), jump onto an eighth platform, drop back down to the fifth step (when that unicycling robot is moving back to the left), jump onto a ninth platform to collect a fuel can (for a random amount of points), fall down to the ground when a third worm-like robot moves to the right, wait for the stalactite to fall and rescue the third Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You'll then have to retrace your steps back to the second mine cart, drop down to a tenth platform and the ground in turn (when a second unicycling robot is moving to the left) and rescue the fourth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you shall now have to jump onto two more platforms and a thirteenth regular platform in turn, jump over a fourth worm-like robot when it is moving to the right, up to a fourteenth platform (when a third unicycling robot is moving to the right), and onto a fifteenth platform to rescue the fifth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You then have to retrace your steps back to where you first jumped onto the platform, jump onto a sixteenth platform while a third spherical robot moves up, onto a seventeenth platform, and over a third mine cart, onto an eighteenth platform while a third hovering robot moves down, and jump up to rescue the sixth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you then have to retrace your steps back to the third mine cart, jump up to a nineteenth platform, and over a fifth wormlike robot when it is moving to the right, onto a twentieth platform (when a fourth unicycling robot is moving to the right), collect the bicycle pump for another random amount of points, retrace your steps back to that second mine cart, jump onto the big balloon to the left of it to get carried back up to the top of its shaft, jump onto the highest step of a twenty-first three-step platform to collect a third diamond for 50 more points, drop down onto both of the lower steps of the platform and a twenty-second platform (when a fifth unicycling robot is moving to the left) in turn, jump up to two more platforms in turn and rescue the seventh Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You'll then have to retrace your steps back up to the lowest step of the twenty-first platform, jump over a fourth hovering robot (when it moves down) onto the first step of a fourth four-step staircase's right side, jump onto its second and third steps in turn, drop down to the fourth step on its left side to collect a fourth diamond for 50 more points, jump onto twenty-fifth platform, walk up to a boot to make it carry Ruff over a gap that he can't clear by jumping onto a twenty-sixth platform, jump onto a twenty-seventh platform (and over a fifth hovering robot when it is moving down onto a twenty-eighth platform), drop down onto a twenty-ninth platform, jump onto a thirtieth platform, wait for another stalactite to fall, jump over a sixth unicycling robot when it's moving to the right, jump up onto each of the two steps of a fifth staircase in turn, and rescue the eighth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you then have to retrace your steps back to the thirtieth platform (when the sixth unicycling robot's moving back to the left), jump onto both of those first two steps of the right side of a sixth four-step staircase in turn, drop down to the third and fourth steps of the staircase's left side in turn when a fourth spherical robot is moving up and rescue the ninth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you shall now have to retrace your steps back to the twenty-ninth platform, drop down to a thirty-first platform and the ground in turn (when two more unicycling robots are moving to the right!), and walk off the left side of the screen. The text "LEVEL COMPLETE. BONUS FOR TIME REMAINING. 50000 POINTS BONUS." will now appear on the screen as you receive 10 points for every second you have remaining and the 50000-point bonus - and Ruff will now proceed onto the third and penultimate area, which is somewhat smaller than this one and on the left side of the map.

Area 3
Time: 4:00 Lilli-Punies: 4 Once Ruff has reappeared on the screen, you will have to jump to the left over a pipe (when a hovering robot is moving up) and a worm-like robot (when it is moving to the right), then collect a first battery for 50 points, jump onto another pipe, jump up to a third four-step pipe (when two spherical robots are both moving to the left), drop down to the pipe's second and third steps in turn, jump onto its fourth step and over the first hovering robot (this time when it is moving down) to land on a fifth pipe and rescue the first Lilli-Puny for 100 points; you shall then have to retrace your steps back down to the second pipe, drop down to the ground, jump up to each of the four steps of the first staircase in turn and onto a television, drop down to the ground, jump over a unicycling robot (when it moves to the right), collect another battery, for 50 more points, jump onto the first step of a sixth (four-step) pipe (when another hovering robot is moving down), and jump onto its second step to rescue the second Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You shall then have to drop down to its third step, jump over another unicycling robot (when it moves to the right), up to the fourth step, collect the credit card for a random amount of points, retrace your steps back to where you first jumped onto the pipe, jump back over the second hovering robot (this time, when it's moving down) to land on the highest step of another (five-step) staircase, drop down to each of its lower steps in turn, jump over another wormlike robot (when it is moving to the right), drop down to the platform below, jump over two more wormlike robots (when they're moving to the left), pick up a third battery for 50 more points, jump over a fourth spherical robot when it is moving to the left (but not while the third one above it is moving to the right!), pick up a fourth battery for 50 more points, jump over a third hovering robot (when it is moving down), to land on the highest step of a third six-step staircase, drop down to each of its lower steps in turn, jump onto another television, drop down to the highest step of a fourth four-step staircase below, and each of its lower steps in turn, jump between two more pipes, drop down beneath a fourth hovering robot (when it is moving up) to land on the ground below, pick up a fifth battery for 50 more points, jump over a ninth pipe and up to each of the three steps of a fifth staircase in turn and jump onto the supercomputer to rescue the third Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you'll then have to retrace your steps back up to the top of the fourth staircase, jump to the left onto the (three-step) platform above, jump onto the second step of the platform, drop down to the third step of the platform, jump over a third unicycling robot (as it moves to the right), and up to both of the first two steps of a seventh staircase in turn (when two more spherical robots are both moving to the right), and jump up to rescue the fourth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You will then have to retrace your steps back to the ground under the fourth hovering robot, jump up to each of the five steps of an eighth staircase in turn, and walk off the left screen side; the text "LEVEL COMPLETE. BONUS FOR TIME REMAINING. 50000 POINTS BONUS." will now appear on the screen as you receive 10 points for every second you have remaining and the 50000-point bonus and Ruff will now proceed to the fourth and final area, which is at the bottom of the map (and again, somewhat bigger than this one, as well as set in water).

Area 4
Time: 7:00 Lilli-Punies: 9 Once Ruff has reappeared on the screen, you will have to start walking to the left, into the water (an air bubble will automatically appear around Ruff as soon as he does so), jump onto the first platform, and rescue the first Lilli-Puny for 100 points; you will then have to walk back into the water (when two fish-like robots are moving to the left), guide Ruff downwards (when a third fish-like robot is moving to the left), leftwards and upwards (when a jellyfish-like robot is moving down), and leftwards again to rescue that second Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You shall then have to guide Ruff back rightwards, downwards and rightwards again (when two more jellyfish-like robots both move down) to collect the first treasure chest for 50 points and upwards and rightwards (when two more fish-like robots both move to the left) to rescue the third Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you will now have to guide Ruff back leftwards, downwards and rightwards (when a second unicycling robot moves back to the left), upwards and rightwards (when three more jellyfish -like robots both move down, and a third unicycling robot is moving to the left), and upwards and leftwards (when two more fish-like robots and a fourth unicycling robot are moving to the right) to rescue the fourth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You will now have to retrace your step back rightwards and upwards (when three more fish-like robots are moving to the right), collect a second treasure chest, for 50 more points, jump to the left out of the water onto another (seven-step) platform, jump onto the spring on the second step of the platform to be propelled onto the third step, drop down to the fourth step, and jump over a hovering robot (when it is moving down) onto a third platform to rescue the fifth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you will now have drop down to the sixth and seventh steps of the second platform and walk back into the water, guide Ruff rightwards (when a seventh unicycling robot moves to the left), and jump up to rescue the sixth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You shall then have to guide Ruff back leftwards, jump to the left out onto the higher step of a fourth (two-step) platform, drop down to the lower step of that platform, walk back into the water (when a seventh jellyfish-like robot moves downwards!), collect the drink can for a random amount of points, retrace your steps back to the spring on the second step of the second platform (but this time, move to the right to land on a fifth two-step platform), jump over another hovering robot (when it is moving down) to land on the first step of a three-step staircase (when a spherical robot is moving to the right), then jump up to the second and third steps of the staircase in turn to rescue the seventh Lilli-Puny for 100 more points - and you will now have to retrace your steps back to the second and third fish-like robots and fourth unicycling robot, guide Ruff rightwards to gain a third treasure chest for 50 more points (when two more unicycling robots move to the right!), continue guiding Ruff rightwards (when an eighth jellyfish-like robot is moving up, and, a tenth unicycling robot and an eleventh fish-like robot are moving to the left), collect a fourth treasure chest for 50 more points and continue guiding Ruff rightwards, upwards and leftwards (when a twelfth unicycling robot is moving to the left), to rescue the eighth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points. You shall then have to guide Ruff back downwards, rightwards (when two more hovering robots are moving up) to collect a fifth treasure chest for 50 more points, upwards and leftwards (when those third and fourth hovering robots are moving down), jump to the left out of the water onto the higher step of a sixth two-step platform, drop down to the lower step of that platform, walk back into the water, and guide Ruff downwards (when a twelfth fish-like robot is moving to the left) and leftwards to push the rock that is blocking your path out of the way, and rescue the ninth Lilli-Puny for 100 more points; you will then have to retrace your steps back to where you just jumped out of water (but this time, you will have to jump to the right onto an eighth platform to collect a diamond for 50 more points and walk off the right side of the screen). The text "LEVEL COMPLETE. BONUS FOR TIME REMAINING. 50000 POINTS BONUS." will then appear on the screen as you receive 10 points for every second you have remaining (and the 50000-point bonus) - and because this is the last area, the text of "CONGRATULATIONS! THE LILLI-PUNIES HAVE RELEASED REDDY, AND HAVE PROGRAMMED YOUR ROCKET TO GET YOU HOME SAFELY. WELL DONE....... SEE YA NEXT TIME!" shall then appear upon the screen, therefore concluding Ruff's only solo outing but they both reappeared in Yogi's Big Clean Up, 1992.
