Loch Ness Darkness

(Submission for Trijam 123, with the theme "Hide and Don't Be Caught".)

As the Loch Ness monster, you value your privacy.  Unfortunately, the pesky paparazzi do not.  And they are extremely determined to catch you on film.  They have placed laser scanners around the loch to detect you as you hunt for your starfish dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use [ arrow keys ] to traverse the loch.  Grab all yummy starfishes.  Simple!
Oh yeah... don't let the lasers see you, or they will set off the cameras.

TIPS

• Use headphones to hear the stereo effects and original music!
• You CAN move diagonally.
• Yes level 8 is possible.  Don't give up!!
