User guide

Game settings:

• Pick the number of enemies from 0-4, they don't fight each other, they only make the game harder by attacking you.
• Then click on the NAME label to select one of the 13 maps. Some maps have different options:
  • Indestructable - Makes the main tiles indestructable.
  • Fuel Depletion - Your jetpack fuel will decrease when you use it.
  • Goal Game - Some maps you can enable this, after enabling this, search the level for an object (you'll know what it looks like when you see it), when you find it you will win.

During the game:

• Hunt after your enemies, or they will hunt after you.
• Your ammo is displayed in the top left corner along with your life and number of kills and deaths.
• Oxygen is the blue gauge in the top right corner, Fuel is the red gauge next to that.
• The gun that the player is using is displayed in the bottom left corner.
• You can climb ladders/(climbable thing) when your jetpack is off/disabled.

Game tips:

• You can jump start your jetpack by turning it on right after you jump.
• You fall alot faster when your jetpack is off. This can be advantageous when you encounter enemies and want to escape, but you must have a safe landing like water, turn on your jetpack ahead of time, or you fall to your death.
