## Description
_Melonmania_ is a side view horizontal scrolling game where the screen
scrolls left or right when you move your hero, Mr Megafat, famous melon grower
and TV personality. It is Midsummer Night and like every year, just as your
melons have ripened. Melonmonsters appear to steal them in various patches
scattered around the area. You must run around the area collecting 30 melons,
one at a time to place them in your barrel outside your inventing hut before
the night is over. As well as moving left or right, arrows appear on the
ground either pointing up or down and using these allows you to move to
another part of the area. As you run around the area you will encounter the
monsters and these need to be shot as you can’t jump over them, and if you
touch one then your energy gauge is decreased. Not touching a monster
increases the gauge but when it is empty then you lose one of four lives. You
can fire forwards and diagonally upwards or downwards. If the moon in the
nights sky reaches the right of the screen from the left then night is over
and it is game over.
