• Game Play
  • Interface
    • In the upper left corner it shows if you have acquired the ham and how many seconds you have remaining to obtain the time-based star bonus.
    • In the upper right corner there are buttons to restart the level or go to the level select screen.
  • Levels
    • This game has 36 levels of increasing complexity as you play through them. You must beat each level to progress to the next level.
    • Initially the first 3 levels only have a single star rating and your only goal is to get the salami to the cat.
    • As you progress through levels additional stars can be earned by having the salami touch ham (levels 4 through 36) & get the salami to the cat quickly (levels 6 through 36).
    • If you earn 2 of 3 stars in a play & then go back and earn 2 of 3 stars while collecting one of the stars you missed your rating on the level will still be 2. You need to get all 3 stars in a single pass to get a 3 star rating on a level.
    • You can replay any level from the level select screen to try to get a better rating on it.
  • Level Design Elements
    • Stone Blocks – these fall straight down. Stone items can be used to shield the salami from dangers, to to provide force to spin a lever.
    • Stone Wheels – these are similar to the salami except they are heavier and slower moving.
    • Ice Blocks – these are what hold things in place initially & need to be broke in the correct order to convert gravitational force into directional momentum. Some ice blocks are flat, others are angled, and some also have a rounded cup shape and move, which enables you to move the salami from one part of a level to another.
    • Levers – redirects momentum using gravity. In some cases you need to time how multiple items hit a lever in close proximity, or you may need to let the salami roll part way on a lever then break a support underneath it.
    • Catapults – fires salami, stone rocks & other items. quite often you will need to clear out other items so they do not misdirect your directional force.
    • Electric Charges – one hit death.
    • Spikes – one hit death.
  • Strategy
    • On timed levels the level timer does not start until after you click to break an item, so look at the level design for a while to figure out your strategy before you begin.
    • If you make a mistake don’t be afraid to use the level restart button in the upper right corner.
    • If you find getting every star on a level frustrating then move on to the next level and later come back to the one you were stuck on.
    • Getting all stars often requires precise timing of movements. In some cases you need to break blocks just after the salami left an area or just before it approaches the area.
    • The direction the salami moves in matters a great deal. In some cases you want the salami to move in one direction until it runs out of momentum then build up speed and move in the opposite direction.
