PLAYING

	Please see the game manual (installed in /usr/share/doc/blobwars-0.9/index.html) for instructions.

	
WHAT'S NEW?

	Lots of misc things
	
	* All levels now 100% work
	* Joypad code should [really!] work now

TODO

	Just the graphics and all the bug fixes now. And probably a couple of tweaks. Nothing major.
	
	Want to do some level timing test for the Extreme Mode that will be implemented into V1.0? See below
	
EXTREME MODE

	(WARNING: SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION!)

	Extreme Mode will be a mode available once the game has been completed once. This mode will start you
	off with the Aqua Lung and Jetpack by default, require you to finish all the objectives on the level
	and will be use a difficulty of around Hard setting. There is also supposed to be a time limit. However
	to be fair I need some people to test the levels and report their quickest times for doing them!
	
	How? Easy,
	
	Start the game with,
	
	blobwars -extremetest <mapname>
	
	This will start the game in a simulated Extreme mode which will have all above, sans the time limit. Once
	you finish the mission the game will exit and you will be shown your time. Make a note of it and send it
	back to me so I can use it as an average for that level. Note - It is not possible to escape or save when
	you are playing in this extreme test. It's a test after all!
	
	The levels available are as follows,
	
	data/grasslands1
	data/grasslands2
	data/grasslands3
	data/caves1
	data/caves2
	data/caves3
	data/caves4
	data/floodedTunnnel1
	data/floodedTunnnel2
	data/floodedTunnnel3
	data/floodedTunnnel4
	data/tomb1
	data/tomb2
	data/tomb3
	data/tomb4
	data/icecave1
	data/icecave2
	data/arcticeWastes
	
	So, to test Grasslands1 you would run the game like this,
	
	blobwars - extremetest data/grasslands1
	
	I'm planning on timing the boss missions myself! Enjoy.


FEEDBACK

	This is pretty much the entire game, sans the graphics. Please send bug reports.
	
	Please don't ask me where you get the Aqua Lung and Jetpack. I've had so many emails on this topic 
	it's simply just funny anymore! These items will become available as the game progresses. Thank You.
