Game Instructions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The object of Squarez is to move your Blue square over green squares.  When you
collect a green square an enemy red square will appear.  If you crash into a
red square your game will be over.  However, if you get the yellow powerup
square, your blue square will turn purple and a counter will appear.  While in
this mode you can destroy enemy red squares by crashing into them.  When your
timer turns red you'll have less than 10 counts before you turn back to normal.
Your score is determined by the number of green squares you collected.


Classic Mode
Original game as described above.  

Arcade Mode
Includes bomb and freeze powerups which decay after a specified amount of time.
Ability to use turbo and slow speeds.

Survival Mode
No powerups at all will appear.  Just collect as many green squares as possible.

Options:

(This area is mainly for testing analog speeds.  Future versions will not allow
such a wide selection of speeds since it can make the game easier by slowing
down the players square)

Analog Desensitivity - Dumb name, but since higher numbers currently slow down
your square...

Turbo Adjust - When pressing the X turbo button, this will increase your speed
by adjust amount.  Higher numbers will increase speed.  Currently if you select
a very slow sensivitity and a high turbo your square will be uncontrollable! So
you'll need to test different settings to get confortable.  The defaults are
always a good starting place.

Slow Adjust - When pressing O slow button, this will slow down your speed.  The
higher the number the more you will slow down.

Default Settings - Reset back to default settings

Exit - Save you settings and exit
