SNARE (THE STORY)
Humphrey has few aims in life.  His favourite pastimes include eating a lot, especially chips and other equally tasty bits of tucker.  Other pastimes include well, er ... more eating really.  This is why Humphrey couldn't figure out why he was chosen to liberate the Princess's gems from some rather unsavoury alien creatures.

Humphrey is rather fond of doing; well, nothing actually!  But a summons from the King no less gets Humphrey into top gear.  Not because he loves his King, more he'll be be-headed if he doesn't do as he's told.

Apparently, these aliens have taken the Princess's gems to their lair.  Inside there are rocks which come in handy for hiding from aliens.  There are all sorts of switches, teleports, bombs, blobs and alien generators.  Not to mention clocks just lying around.  Unfortunately, the lair is built on an earthquake zone ... So when time runs out - blobs, rocks, wall all break up and if there are any aliens around at the time ...
