IMOGEN is an animated adventure game in sixteen sections; Each section contains a number of puzzles based on a particular theme. It is not possible to be killed off although the number of times you can change character has been limited. The number of permitted changes is given at the top-right of the screen.

Wizard

Walk left and right using the motion keys. Press the action key at the same time to jump. (The action key on its own will have no effect unless you are holding an object.)

Monkey

Same as the wizard except you can jump on the spot by just pressing the action key. Also the monkey can use the ropes - press the action key alone to climb up, release to slide down. To hold your position press the action key and either or both of the motion keys, and to jump off press only the motion key for the direction you are facing. (You cannot turn around on a rope nor can you jump off backwards.)

Cat

Same as the wizard except the height and range of the leap are greater. The distance covered by the cat while jumping is increased by holding down the motion key during flight. You can walk almost halfway over the edge of a platform before starting to slip. This is useful to know when attempting to cross wide gaps as you can delay the leap until the last moment.

Jumping

When jumping onto a ledge keep the motion key depressed so that you start walking as soon as you touch ground - this minimises your chances of slipping backwards. If you fail to reach a platform when jumping from a rope, try again from a higher point.

All aspects of the game other than the motion of the main character are controlled via icons at the top of the screen. To use a particular icon move the pointer over the top and press the SPACE.
