1. Before You Start

Lenny in Space is the sequel to the first Ezone On-line Adventure Toon - Lenny Loosejocks Goes Walkabout. If you haven't yet played and won Walkabout, we highly recommend that you do. You'll get a good feel for who Lenny is and meet a bunch of his friends. To play Walkabout - click here.

However, it is not necessary that you complete Walkabout before playing Space. Just like everything at Ezone it's all about fun - so do whatever you want!

If this is your first time playing Space, click on the "New Game" button after the credits. With Lenny and Space you can have several games saved at once (for example if more than one person wants to play on the same computer). To start a different game, just click "New Game" next time you start.

If you would like to continue where you left off in a previous game, just click on "Load Game" after the credits. Lenny in Space will automatically save your progress as you go - everytime you get in your ship and blast off into space, your progress is saved.

2. Your Mission

The adventure continues... We last left our hero, Lenny Loosejocks, at the completion of his previous mission - Lenny Walkabout and the puzzles of Pullyapantsup. Now Lenny has accepted a new mission. This one is his biggest yet - with nothing less than the fate of the entire human race resting on his skinny shoulders.

The scourge of the Universe, the dreaded "Sluggee" aliens have threatened to destroy our solar system by planting bombs on each of our nine planets. Every second counts. Lenny has only 4 hours to travel to each planet, find the bombs, and disarm them.

Using your computer mouse you must guide Lenny to the hidden bombs. As in Lenny Walkabout, you should explore everywhere - don't be afraid to click! Once you discover the bombs, you must deactivate them. Then make your way back to the LooseShip, and blast-off to the next planet.

Hurry, time is running out, the whole human race is counting on you. Good Luck Lenny!

3. The Controls

Lenny in Space is a combination adventure game / animated cartoon. This means that there are several animated scenes that will just play out by themselves, you don't need to do anything, just watch and listen. For example, when you start a new game, the first scene is an animated sequence of Lenny being told his mission. In many cases you can click on the screen to skip to the next bit of dialog.

While on a planet you use the mouse to control Lenny. As you move the cursor around the screen, it will change shape. The cursor shape indicates what will happen if you click at that location:

And that's about all you need to get around the planets.

4. Space Navigation

When you are flying around in Space, you use the mouse to control the direction of your spaceship. Simply point the mouse to where you would like the ship to fly to. The further the mouse is from the ship, the faster you'll go. To land on a planet, position the ship over the top of the planet until the green target landing square appears. Then click the mouse to initiate the landing sequence.

5. Mercury

Prepare yourself for an intense adventure on the hot and steamy planet of Mercury! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a hot, sweaty, hairy armpit? Well, wonder no more because a visit to Mercury will show you just what it would be like!

Mercury is not a very pleasant planet. The intense heat from the Sun, the enormous dangerous cliffs and the scorching, steam gushing craters, make this planet one of the most hostile and least desirable places to visit in our galaxy. Mercury's close proximity to the Sun made it a bonza source for solar power. Unfortunately, the whole planet seems to be riddled with a complex network of underground tunnels (supposedly the burrows of strange alien life forms).

The virtually hollow and unstable planet has made the few attempts to colonize it end in disaster. Hopefully the Sluggees have had more luck in establishing a stable foundation for construction, because a bomb is reportedly hidden somewhere on Mercury!

The dangerously high heat and explosive chemical makeup of Mercury's atmosphere - means that your jetpack is inoperative. So, you must rely upon your wits to help you track down the bomb and disarm it! Then return immediately to your ship! For goodness sakes be careful Lenny!

6. Venus

Prepare yourself for a fantastic adventure on the exotic but dangerous Venus!

Through constant volcanic activity Venus has developed into an extremely beautiful planet, full of color and mystery. Venus would have become the vacation spot of the galaxy if it weren't for the overpowering stench of the "rotten-egg" smelling sulfur air, the unpredictable volcanic eruptions, and the ferocious life forms that exist there.

Many an adventurous tourist has blindly attempted (unsuccessfully) to brave the local hazards. Due to these disastrous visits, the Galactic Government was forced to ban all travel to the planet. No-one has visited the strange planet... until now.

The Sluggees have planted a bomb somewhere within the lava- shaped environment of Venus! You must find it, disarm it and then return to your ship! Let's just hope that an unexpected volcanic eruption doesn't cause a catastrophic, premature detonation of the bomb.

We're afraid to report that due to the explosive chemical makeup of Venus' atmosphere - your jetpack is inoperative. You're going to have to use whatever means available to navigate your way around this amazing, breath-taking, but unforgiving planet. Keep on your toes for this mission - you never know what you'll come across. The Human Race is counting on you Lenny!

7. Earth

Most of planet Earth has changed so much in the last thousand years that you probably wouldn't even recognize it - except, of course, if you land in Pullyapantsup, Australia - which hasn't changed one bit!

Earth is the location of the Intergalactic Peace Keeper's secret headquarters. The headquarters are located in an extensive system of subterranean caves near the desolate outback town of Pullyapantsup.

Unfortunately, it didn't prove to be quite as secretive as intended - a group of Sluggees masquerading as HologramVision repairmen infiltrated the headquarters, and nearly destroyed it. Luckily Leroy Loosejocks recognized one of the Sluggees before they were able to complete their mission.

In order to taunt the Peace Keepers, the Sluggees selected Earth as the location for the Master Bomb. And to really rub the Peace Keeper's noses in it, they didn't even bother to hide it that well - planting it directly above the not-so-secret headquarters.

Your mission is to find the Sluggee's Master Bomb and disarm it. But be warned, the Master Bomb is linked to the other bombs, and can only be disarmed once all the other planets are defused. The Master Bomb keeps track of which planets you have completed, and also let's you know how much time you have left - so be sure to come back and check it often! The fate of the entire human race is resting on your shoulders! You can do it Lenny!

8. Mars

Prepare yourself for an exciting adventure on the Martian home planet - Mars!

After the large number of unmanned and manned missions to Mars in the late 20th Century and early 21st Century - people started to become rather bored with the small red planet. Even the discovery of huge rock pyramids couldn't stir the public's interest in the planet.

This disinterest of Mars continued until the famous Mars Colonization Mission of the year 2064. Numerous Mars colonization teams, with elaborate excavation equipment, landed on the small red planet and began the huge task of colonizing Mars. Months of successful work went by, when suddenly, one day all excavation equipment simultaneously failed. The repair crews were shocked to discover that the machines had been sabotaged! Upon further examination they noticed that small footprints could be seen dappled in the red dirt around the equipment. The small footprints were followed to a tiny cave where the colonization teams discovered a little green alien... a Martian!

Although very cute, these mischievous little Martians kept disrupting the progress of any further colonization plans until the colonizing teams had no choice but to give up and return to Earth. No Mars missions have been attempted since. The Martians and their strange pyramids remain mysteries to this very day.

Your mission isn't to go back and study the planet or it's inhabitants - it's to find the Sluggee's bomb, disarm it and return to your ship... and do it quickly! Keep an eye out for those little green Martians, they're tricky little critters and they may just try to sabotage your efforts.

Your mission will be made even more difficult due to the fact that your jetpack will be inoperative due to the explosive chemical makeup of Mars' atmosphere! It's not going to be easy... but, you're the only person qualified for this mission! Good Luck Lenny!

9. Jupiter

Prepare yourself for a rocking adventure on the gas giant, Jupiter!

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system was also the most popular music venue of the late 21st Century. Because of it's immense size - rock bands could hold massive concerts for ridiculously huge audiences. Plus, the amazing natural phenomena of the helium-filled floating rocks, created a perfect atmosphere for "rock" concerts!

The bands would set up on a large central floating rock and the audience would be seated on the surrounding smaller floating rocks. The resulting effect would be that of pure surround sound.

Jupiter would have continued to hold record breaking sized concerts except for the fact that due to the high atmospheric helium levels - the singers all sounded like high-pitched squealing dolphins. Although this effect was considered cool, for awhile, it got to a point where every band sounded the same. So, after many years of amazing concerts, Jupiter retired it's title as the best music venue in the galaxy.

Recently there have been talks of doing another one-off concert just for old times sake, but none of these plans have evolved into anything certain. Some people think that there won't ever be another concert at Jupiter due to the affect the excessively loud music had on the native life forms.

Some life-forms have become so afraid of humans that even the sight of a someone will send them into hiding and some creatures have turned so ill-tempered towards all humans that they have become quite hostile. So, watch out! You never know how a life-form will react to your presence.

Those sneaky Sluggee's have hidden a bomb somewhere among the famous floating helium rocks. They couldn't have found a better place to hide the bomb - finding it will be like finding a needle in a haystack! But, find it you must, then return to your ship!

Hurry Lenny! Every second counts... time is not on our side! The good news is that your jetpack is fully operational! So get flying and find that bomb, you've got a galaxy to save! Lenny, you're our one and only chance!

10. Saturn

Prepare yourself for a crazy adventure on the loopy world of Saturn!

Visiting Saturn is like staying with your wacky relatives! The creatures that live there are completely "loopy". Saturn is home to millions of happy aliens, who live in large communities of hollowed-out floating rocks. Little is known about these high-spirited creatures, other then that they love having "company". Unfortunately, their constant chattering and laughter seems to drive most visitors away.

Yup, Saturn is a planet that few people ever return to, it's a place full of surprises. You just never know what's going to pop up next. The Galactic government has never found a constructive use for Saturn, so it's been left pretty much untouched.

The Sluggee's have hidden a bomb somewhere among the unsuspecting creatures' dwellings. Lenny - you must find the bomb, disarm it and return to your ship as fast as you can... time is running out! All our hopes go with you! Good Luck Lenny!

11. Uranus

Prepare yourself for a sticky adventure on the goo planet of Uranus!

About three hundred years ago the fast food companies of the Galaxy began to run out of that delicious goop that they use to thicken milkshakes. It was not a pretty sight... milkshakes became runny and without substance, and as a result fast food sales started to diminish. Something had to be done!

Then, a miracle happened. During a routine space stop after leaving Neptune, "SpaceTruckie", Albert Dooley, accidentally crashed his large milk space freighter into the surface of Uranus. Albert escaped the crash unscathed and discovered that the impact of his ship on the planet had ruptured the surface and that a mysterious green goo was now leaking from the ground. What's more, his milk space freighter was also leaking and soon the milk and the goo began to mix. Albert noticed that the resulting mixture of the two substances caused a delicious thickening effect... he had discovered a natural well of milkshake thickener!!! Albert was a hero!!! A milkshake goo mine was quickly established on Uranus and it became the sole source of milkshake goo for the whole galaxy.

For many years after, the Uranus milkshake goo business was going just swell, until it was discovered that Uranus milkshake goo had a weird side-effect - of turning a person's tongue permanently green! The Uranus milkshake goo company were put out of business and the goo mine was shut down. The galaxy had to go without milkshake thickener once again. However, people soon grew to like the watery milkshakes and the fast food industry began to boom again.

Now, the Sluggee's have used the old Uranus milkshake goo site as a hiding place for a bomb. Your mission is to find the bomb, disarm it and return to your ship!

As tempting as it may be, don't touch any of the milkshake goo... who knows, after hundreds of years it may have mutated into a new life-form. I hope you have strong arms, because Uranus is now made up of a complex series of ladders, bridges and goo pipes - finding your way around will be exhausting work. Plus, due to the high explosive chemical makeup of Uranus' atmosphere - your jetpack is inoperative. Now, go for it Lenny, we know you can do it! Good Luck!

12. Neptune

Prepare yourself for a nose-pinching adventure on stinky old Neptune!

Back in the year 2405, it was discovered that the Earth's global warming problem was caused by the enormous quantity of Methane gas in the atmosphere. The source of all of this gas? Cows of course! So, a plan was conceived to move all of the cows to another planet...

... the nominated planet was Neptune! Neptune was a perfect choice - for it's atmosphere was already predominately methane anyway. What possible harm was adding more methane to the mix going to do? So, the massive task of moving the cows was slowly carried out for the decade that followed. By late 2415 Neptune was fully functional as the cow farm of the Galaxy!

Over the following century, Neptune's mutated atmosphere had not only created changes in the planet's environment but also to the cows. The bovines had now transformed into large, wrinkled, purple polka-dotted animals that give nothing but sour, blue milk! What's more, their meat was disgustingly smelly and tough - so Neptune was quickly abandoned as a cow farm and was turned into a Methane plant. The Methane was bottled and shipped all over the galaxy as fuel for spacecraft.

However, Five hundred years ago Methane was replaced by a cleaner and cheaper fuel, called "BurkleBurp". So, the Methane plant closed up and Neptune has been ignored ever since.

As far as we know, many mutated cows still exist on Neptune. No one has been brave enough to risk the stench of the planet to find out for sure. One thing we do know is that the Sluggee's have used the old Methane plant as a hideout for a bomb. Your mission is to find that bomb, disarm it and return to your ship.

It's a smelly job, but someone's got to do it! Oh yes, due to the highly combustible chemical makeup of Neptune's atmosphere, your jetpack is inoperative. So, hold your nose and keep your mind on your mission! Good Luck Lenny!

13. Pluto

Prepare yourself for a cool adventure on the cold, harsh confines of Pluto!

Have you ever sat naked in a tub full of blueberry ice-cream... during a hail storm? Do you think that's cold? Well, you don't know the meaning of the word until you visit the frozen planet of Pluto. In fact, back in the early 21st Century, Pluto's status was down-graded from that of planet to the status of "a very large icecube". Later, in 2089, it's planet status was reinstated once again - so that our solar system could qualify as a legal contender and thus compete in the "Systems of Nine Planets Intergalatic Games" (but that's another story).

In the year of 2401 - there was a massive ice shortage throughout our solar system. Global warming on Earth had melted the polar caps and humankind had to look elsewhere for a pure source of ice. It was soon discovered that Pluto was largely made up of beautiful, crystal-clear ice! Pluto was immediately colonized by a team of ice miners.

After many fruitful years of ice mining, our galaxy had enough ice to last a million years. Due to the lack of demand for ice, the Pluto Ice Company had the brilliant idea of putting all of their hard earned profits into setting up Pluto as a galactic Summer vacation spot. Once again, let me remind you that Pluto is a bloomin' cold place! The Pluto Ice Company went bankrupt when not even one tourist came to the opening. The Planet "closed down" and has been deserted ever since ... that is until now.

The Sluggee aliens have now converted the old ice mine tunnels into a hideout for a bomb. You must navigate your way through the uncharted labyrinth of Pluto's underground to find the bomb... disarm it and return to your ship. Hurry - time is running out! This mission is not going to be easy - make sure you wear your thermal, battery operated, self-heating jocks. Unfortunately, due to the explosive chemical makeup of the atmosphere - your jetpack is inoperative, you must do this one on foot. Good Luck Lenny!
