===================================DISCLAIMER==================================
I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

(C) THE GAME
###############################################################################
Bricklayer J. Gastronomy
This game is pretty much a copy of Donkey Kong and involves you slowly climbing
up ladders to reach the top of the screen. There are also gaps to jump over
and objects that Kong tosses down at you, that you must also jump over as you
go.
###############################################################################
(C-01) HAZARDS
###############################################################################
----
Gaps
----
These are just little breaks in the floor, you need to jump over them or you
will fall and lose a life.
-----
Bombs
-----
These are rainbow coloured and look kind of like curling stones.
Bombs move horizontally and fall down some ladders or gaps, you need to jump
over them before they hit you. In some cases bombs will climb up ladders too,
so watch for this.
-----------
Super Bombs
-----------
These are blue/green in colour and look kind of like a soft drink.
Super Bombs move horizontally and fall down some ladders or gaps, you need to
jump over them before they hit you. In some cases bombs will climb up ladders
too, so watch for this.
Super bombs are slightly different from regular bombs, because you will move up
a floor when you jump over one.
###############################################################################
(C-02) TIPS

Layout
------
The basic layout of the levels never changes, and is pictured below [the "#"
are ladders].

Timing
------
After a few jumps you should learn the timing for jumping gaps and the two
types of bombs. However you should learn when is the best time to jump.
In most cases, it works best to jump a gap and a bomb at the same time, instead
of jumping the gap quickly and possibly getting stuck without enough time to
jump a bomb right after.
You also need to watch what's happening on the floor above and below yours, in
case a bomb falls down a ladder or gap, or climbs up a ladder.
------------
Stage Change
------------
After you get to about the 5th floor on a stage, Kong will jump to the bottom
floor. This is when you need to start looking out for bombs or super bombs
that can climb ladders.

(D) EXPERIMENTAL
###############################################################################
For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
