Ok kids I have done some research and apparently there is no instruction book for this game however I did run into a forum that was discussing this game lol. I hope you find it useful. Good Luck!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
Here's some stuff I have put together all about Tontie V1.
All Levels
Large hearts The four large hearts at the top of your screen each contain 50 Player Life Points. It is possible to increase your Large Hearts to six either by using The Shop, or by finding Large Hearts in a Treasure Chest.
Shop:
Here you can buy:
Hammers:
Bronze - This hammer does two points of damage. Mosters with 1 or 2 life points are killed with one blow if the bronze hammer.
Silver - This hammer does four points of damage. Mosters with 1, 2, 3 or 4 life points are killed with one blow if the bronze hammer.
Gold - This hammer does six points of damage. Mosters with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or six life points are killed with one blow if the bronze hammer.
Wings: Wings make it possible to deal multiple blows in a shorter period of time.
A Save Tablet/Play again icon: The save tablet need only be purchased once. You will see no effect until you start the game again. The + play again icon allows you to extend play by one turn for each icon you buy.
Large Hearts - Add another storage heart. Storage hearts come ready filled in V1
Filler hearts - you can buy 1, 2 or 3 fills for empty hearts on your board.
Treasure Chests:
Chests can contain:
Diamond Hearts - These hearts encase your own, effectively doubling your lives. Red hearts can continue to be built within the Diamond Heart casing.
Large Hearts - Add another storage heart. Storage hearts come ready filled in V1
Heart Exchangers - Each monster on the field is changed into 1, 2 or 3 small hearts.
Coin Exchangers - Each monster on the field is changed into 1, 2 or 3 GP
Ray Gun - the strongest weapon, doing 8 points of damage.

--------------------------------------------------------
I haven't been able to figure out what the wings do... I've played it a lot, but I still don't really see the difference.
---------------------------------------------------------
On the lower levels, the wings don't help much at all, and it's quite possible to do up to level nine without them.
Level ten, however, I cannot do without the wings.
The wings decrease the time between hits of your hammer. In level ten, when you must hit the blue Boss character many many times, the wings allow you to set up six or eight hits on him without the lag time between blows building up. With the wings you can hit him (say) eight times, then hit some other monster, whereas without the wings if you try to que up eight blows, the hammer is still trying to complete them perhaps as much as a second after you've moved on to the other monsters.
When this happens, the Boss character invariably puts on his bomb head and you lose multiple hearts.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the notes; so far I've gotten up to level 14.
Here's the codes: these appear when you mouseover the "tablets" -- you can also click on a tablet and it'll automatically enter it, but you can enter it even if you don't have the tablet.
816 475 239
965 813 472
726 538 941
(These are presented with commas: 8,1,6,4,7,5,2,3,9; 9,6,5,8,1,3,4,7,2; 7,2,6,5,3,8,9,4,1 -- I'm including these so googlers can find this page.)
As noted before:
the first starts you on level 1 with bronze hammer and 100 coins, and you get it by buying it in the shop.
The second starts you on level 11 with the winged silver hammer and 100 coins, and you get it by beating the level 10 boss.
The third lets you choose which board to play, up to the max you've reached, and starts you on it totally pimped out: max life (and crystal shield), winged gold hammer (and ray gun), 999 coins. I don't know where you get this.
(I got the last code by using flasm to disassemble it.)
Incidentally, after a detailed study of this game, I sent some comments to the author, and all the recommendations were included, but very elegantly (the "tablets" are very clever), and he added many other creative things. I have no clue if my comment did any good -- I think the problems with the beta version were pretty obvious (most notably, the slow start and then the speed ramping up far too fast; also the erratic shop appearance). Note that in the beta version, the ray gun is always "sold out" -- so it's a nice surprise for us players of the old one that this new one has the fabled gun.
So yeah, this is a very well-made game: ON (maker of EYEZMAZE) makes very sleek little games.
-------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so using the last code to "cheat", I won. Level 20 is the last level, and the boss is a new enemy: a black dude with red wings on a pink eye, who switches his head with red and purple bombs! Winning yields a tablet and you win the game (and get a cute animation). Incidentally, with the last tablet (or code), you have unlimited continues (not a big deal -- it's very easy to load up on continues if you run low).
Some general tips:
leave treasure/hearts and easy enemies for a moment before taking them, as they prevent more enemies from coming up
"Bombhead exchanger" isn't too bad -- with the wing and a good hammer, it's easy to kill all the bombheads if you act fast
with the ray gun, conserve shots -- don't shoot optional enemies
--------------------------------------------------------
An additional note:
Each time you use the + key to restart, you will loose half of your gold coins.
This makes starting with the second code (silver hammer, level 11) a bit of a bastard, because it's just about possible to get 300 GP before dying, but if a shop doesn;t turn up straight away, the naughty little Money Stealers with Sacks start spoiling things royally.
----------------------------------------------------------
At one point i had a silver hammer which all of a sudden disappeared and was replaced with the popopiko hammer, i also thought i saw the 8 piece blue pie slowly being used up. I'm wondering if the weapons in tontie have durability so to speak?
----------------------------------------------------------
The silver hammer can change to the pikopiko hammer if you open a chest with a pikopiko hammer in it and hit the pikopiko hammer.
Or it can change to a pikopiko hammer if you hit two Purple Bastard Bombs.
Otherwise, your hammer will stay at what it is. The only weapong with a time limit is the ray gun.
