Hazards on Assignment

Our safety record at the Time Factory is nearly perfect. Working
in other worlds, however, is another matter. Make sure you keep
your eyes and ears peeled for the following dangers.
OBSTACLES
During your field assignments, you may encounter many
dangerous machines, moving parts, and traps. The following are
the three most common causes of work-related injuries while in
other worlds. Please do your best to avoid these threats.
Barrels
Barrels cannot roll over you, but they can push you backward—
making navigation difficult. There are rumors of exploding
barrels! Barrels can also push you into another hazard. Move
around or jump over these objects, or try using PAUSE or SLOW.
Spike pits
Avoid these dangerous pits. Go around or, if possible, jump
over them. Falling into a spike pit is extremely unpleasant—
and you'll have to use a RETRY to get out.
Blades
To pass these swinging, razor-sharp obstacles, you must have
keen reflexes. If a blade hits you, it knocks you off your feet.
Try using PAUSE and SLOW to navigate around these dangers.

TOM-TOM GANG
These time thieves have been seen
skulking near the Time Factory. They
are suspected of numerous robberies
throughout the worlds. They are known
to use time crystals in their illegal acts,
and they would like to get their hands
on more! If you spot any one of them,
report it immediately to your supervisor.
Caution: They may steal gold or time
crystals. Be careful!
BENITO
The leader of the Tom-Tom
Gang, Benito is not terribly
smart, but he is quick to get
UGO excited and angry.
As hot-blooded as Benito,
Ugo often acts without
thinking. He uses a small
flying bike to help him
steal time crystals.
CINO
This gang member has a cool
head and is very slow to act.
He also rides an air bike.
