and another that has no head at all, but instead has its eyes and mouth located on its
torso (which Earthlings call “Torsos”). The Moonies also have white bumps on
their bodies that can glow when necessary, allowing them to maneuver through
dark areas. This lighting is necessary for them to navigate on the Dark Side of the
Moon, where they have lived for all their recorded history.
Enemies
Arctic Immobilizer Blimp The Arctic Immobilizer Blimp (AIB) is an easy to middle
difficulty robotic adversary that Sam will have to disable or evade. Shaped like a
cylinder, made of shiny, silvery metal, and suspended from a miniature zeppelin,
the AIB floats through the air at a relatively slow speed, being propelled forward by
a small rear propeller. Two metal claws extend from either side of the tube, and the
AIB will wiggle these claws menacingly at Sam. The front end of the cylinder has
four metal spikes that close over the front opening. The AIB will be able to move up
and down (again, at slow velocity) in order to line up with Sam and attempt to attack
him, but its slow speed will prevent the AIB from giving chase if Sam successfully
evades it and flies away. Since the AIB flies, if Sam uses the Goo-Balls on it they
will have no effect. One of the best projectiles for defeating the AIB will be the
Magneto-Mass, which will quickly bring the enemy to the ground.
The enemy has two attacks, one a melee attack and the other a mid-range attack.
- Claw Attack:If in close range, the AIB will be able to slice at Sam with its two
claws, possibly cutting off his rocket-pack. Sam will need to avoid getting in close
range of the AIB in order to avoid this fate.
