WARNING: This game has to be run on an original Sinclair 48k BASIC ROM (MD5 4c42a2f075212361c3117015b107ff68) either real or emulated.
This is due to the fact we RUN over the ROM (hence the name) as a source for deterministic "fake" pseudo-random sequence used to generate the game levels (been the starting address the "seed").
OKTOGONIA planet is dying. His essential harmonic, which vibration allows life on it, is diminishing.
You are Arlaina, the more skilled dron pilot at the controls of a virtually unlimitted supply of "Silvered Grinder" drons commited to find and amplify the resonance point of the four satellites around OKTOGONIA planet: Glass, Ruby, Pink Quartz and Emerald. Once the resonance points are found and amplified, OKTOGONIA planet will resonate and the life on it saved!
Pilot "Silvered Grinder" dron into crystal satellites till it finds the resonance point.
Save and restore to/from browser functions playing on the web are experimental features and may fail, so it's higly recommended to download the .TAP file from la the download section and use an emulator.
Use 'A' and 'D' keys to move left and right respectively.
F3 save game on browser.
F4 load game from browser.
*only playing on web; check your emulator documentation for these functions
It takes a while to get it, but keeping the movement key pressed "grindding" over cliffs and do a timely accurated key release works better than repeatedly pressing the key.
Once you get it, the four missions can be achieved in less than 20 minutes.
Good luck!
