This was intended to be an epic action game that would
be different every time you played it, but due to time
restrictions (being too busy!!) its far from finished!

It is a gauntlet-like game with completely random maps
and enemy/item placement.So essencially, no two games
will ever be the same.

In my original game-plan, there are 8 stages that move
through a few countrys and enviroments end eventually
into spacecraft and finally an alien planet. There were
to be many more enemies and 7 more bosses, some of them
gigantic!!!

But that didnt happen.

I only finished the 1st stage, and even then its far
from finished... There are still heaps of bugs, including
one really major one that can, on occasion, crash the
game on level entry. (Too often!!!)
Also there has been very little optimization done, so
it can get quite slow at times on hardware.
On hardware there is more glitches that I have just
discovered too ... :(

Anyway....

Instructions:

Each stage is divided into missions, with a mission goal
being given to you at the start of each.
Each mission is divided into levels which you must clear
to reach the final mission goal.

To clear a level, you must collect 3 items: (in any order)
The Scanner, The Battery and The Tracker.
The exit via the Teleporter.

The Scanner allows you to see the Teleporter, as it's
invisible before you find it.
The Battery powers the Teleporter.
The Tracker feeds the correct co-ordinates to the Teleporter.

On the final level in a mission, you'll find the goal object,
this must be completed before you can use the teleporter...

Controls: A Button fires the current weapon (you can only
carry one...)
B Button fire a bomb, which damages everything
on the screen.
Start pauses.

Weapons: There are a few different weapons lying around...
Try them!!! Also you can find extra Bombs.

Items: You'll find health and Xtras, as well as gems, gold
etc...
