Game(s)	Powerup

Signs are interactive objects seen in some levels of Powerup.

Appearance

Signs look like a rectangular piece of wood supported by a wooden post. The sides of the sign itself are uneven, and horizontal lines cross from one end of the sign to the other. Atop of some of these lines is a question mark, painted in white.

Game information

When clicked on, the game will automatically pause and a screen will appear with the heading "Help" and the text below it. Sometimes more than one help sign is seen in a level.

In earlier levels, signs may be useful to the player, offering game tips or pointing out new components of the game. In later levels, signs may tell players what they are being challenged to do in that particular level.

Quotes

Example of help sign description.

Below is a list of quotes from signs in these certain levels. Some levels were purposely omitted since there are no help signs in those levels.

Level 1

• Drag around the metal shapes with your mouse. Create a circuit between the two robot heads to complete the level.

Level 2

• Your blocks come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Why don't you try and stack them to create a circuit.

Level 3

• Drag your mouse to the edges of the screen or use the arrow and WSAD keys to scroll around levels.
• This Caged Monster is angry and cannot sit still. However it can be dragged around and used like any other block.

Level 4

• Shapes can be stored and retrieved in the big chest. If a shape is lost off screen then it will reappear inside your chest.
• Only metal blocks conduct electricity. Avoid contact with water-it will short out your circuit.
