But finding the way by using elevators and walking trough a maze of doors and platforms is not the only problem you have to solve. There are a bunch of other creatures living on the tower that will hinder you to reach your target by pushing you over the edge of the platforms.
The only weapon of defence you have is to throw a little snowball. But most of the other creatures just don't care about this. So you must avoid them.

For all you hard core gamers:
Some of you may be disappointed with the quality of games available for Linux. Waaah! 8^)
Take the money you save on buying a high-end WinDoze computer and buy a PS2 or XBox or whatever. Some of you are spending $1500+ on a gaming computer. Take that money and buy a nice big TV, PS2 and a whole bunch of games!
My oldest boy Dave, Jr. told me when he was up for Christmas that it's really kinda fun to just sit down and play pacman or some of the "old" classic games. There ya go. I have to agree!
