Puzzle:
The computer jumbles up the tiles in a random fashion, and when it's finished displays a clock in the top right comer.
You now have to rearrange the tiles by sliding the blank one around. The number of moves you take is recorded in the top left corner, and the clock resets on the first move.
You should aim to reproduce the alphabetical order in 150 moves and in under one minute.

Bombs:
Each bombing raid lasts for about half a minute, and the number of building units remaining after the attack is your score. The high score for each level of play is displayed in the top centre of the screen.
