Scuba Kidz
Players take on the role of a scuba driver, and it is up to them to navigate a
series of underwater caves in search of their kidnapped friends. While
exploring these caves, their air supply depletes so they must go up to the
surface to refuel on air. Finding an air tank enables players to swim
underwater for a longer period of time. If players have no air left, the game
is over.
Useful items can be found scattered around the sea floor. These items include
keys, which are used to unlock passages; bubble power, which allows players to
trap creatures in bubbles which burst; extra speed; and monster suit, which
scares off the creatures. Some passages are blocked by walls, and players must
use their bubble power to destroy the wall.
Between caves, players have to destroy a shark which makes its way across the
screen. If players make contact with the shark, their air supply diminishes.
When the shark is destroyed, players proceed to the next cave. Later ones have
less open surface, trickier passages, and faster creatures.
