CHOOSING A LEVEL
Honk all you like, those cars aren’t
going to move by themselves!!!

FIVE different SKILL LEVELS to choose from. Press the
LEVEL button to choose the SKILL LEVEL, then play.

in a hurry. Wouldn’t it be great if you had the keys to all of
the other cars and semi trucks so you could move them

HOUR, the headache of a traffic jam is transformed into a
brain-teasing puzzle where you can test your skill while
having loads of fun!
After you solve a puzzle and press the NEW button, you
will automatically be given the next puzzle of that skill
level. You may skip through puzzles by pressing the NEW
button, or you can move up a level by pressing the LEVEL
button.
NOTE: Once you’ve started a puzzle you can’t skip to the
next puzzle or change levels without first either solving the
puzzle or ending the puzzle by holding down the NEW
button.
