Scoring and lives etc.
Points are scored for defusing bombs, collecting hamburgers,
collecting spinach, and rescuing Olive. lf Popeye manages to
rescue Olive before the ‘Bonus‘ timer reaches zero, the Bonus
amount will be added to the score. On the score pane at the
bottom of the screen, the lives are displayed as three hearts.
The beating heart will gradually decrease in size until it
disappears, indicating the loss of one life.
Also shown on the score panel is a box containing an arm. This
will increase in size to a real ‘he-man‘ muscular arm when
Popeye is at full strength, and shrink down to weedy
proportions gradually.
When Popeye is knocked down, he will become invincible for a
few seconds after he has recovered. This is shown by Popeye
flickering.
