Description

A millenarian spell, transmitted from parents to children, turned the muscular Bully into a fish and the indomitable M贸nica into a hawk. Every full moon one of them suffers a transformation and the other recovers his normal form, which prevents them to be together. Only an extraordinary phenomenon can break the spell, something as extraordinary as a sun eclipse... the Black Sun. In order to break the spell, Bully must free M贸nica (the hawk) of her cage for, turned he in fish, arrive on time together at the sacred submarine temple of the sun, a grotto located beyond the borders of the city submerged of Hidrionis, just at the moment in which the moon is embraced with the sun and a huge shade crosses the planet.

The objective in the first stage is to rescue M贸nica, turned a hawk, for which you will have to locate the key of the cage on which she is imprisoned and go to rescue her, you will count with the help of a jet pack and a M-92 rifle laser; once done, face together with her all the dangers until arriving at the magical palace. The second stage is developed at the heart of the ocean. M贸nica must protect Bully in his form of fish and together with him arrive at the submarine grotto. M贸nica counts with an aquatic propellent and a hydro leak pistol with which she will have to defended herself against the submarine enemies.

Trivia

The game is an unofficial adaptation of the film Ladyhawke, although the man here turns into a fish (!). Such strategies were not unusual in Spanish games of the era, the game El Misterio del Nilo from Zigurat incurs in a similar occurrence. It uses the plot from the movie Jewel of the Nile, and the faces of the characters in the loading screen were altered in international versions, as they resembled too much the faces of the actors in the film.
