INTRODUCTION

    Well, it's Christmas. Every Christmas needs a special game. This
    year it's time for Klabutong. :) I didn't spend truckloads of time
    on the game but it should provide you with at least a few minutes
    of frantic fun. Merry Christmas!


KLABUTONG

    It's the day before Christmas and all the elfs are busy making
    presents. Once a present is complete and wrapped, it's simply thrown
    out the factory window to land safely in Santa's sleigh below.

    But wait a minute, something is wrong...

    Oh no! Santa has parked the sleigh at the wrong building! All the
    presents will be smashed if nothing is done!

    The only ones to spot the predicament are two elfs from the
    candy factory next door who both hurry to save as many presents
    as possible...


HOW TO PLAY

    It couldn't be easier. Move your elf right and left using the
    arrow keys (A & D for player 2). If you want to aim while standing
    still, hold right shift (left for player 2) and press the arrows.

    Presents will come out from the factory and it's your job to bounce
    as many presents as you can into the sleigh. Good luck.

    * ARCADE *
    In the arcade mode your goal is to get as many presents in to the
    sleigh as possible, without breaking any. If you break more than
    five presents you lose. Check the small pile of presents to the
    right (near the sleigh) to see how many misses you have left.

    The first present you deliver to the sleigh is worth one point.
    The second one it worth two points, the third one three and so
    on. If you miss a present you have to start over at one point per
    present.

    * TIME ATTACK *
    In time attack you have sixty seconds to get as many presents as
    possible into the sleigh. It doesn't matter if you break some, just
    make sure you work quickly! You can see how much time you have left
    on the clock above the sleigh.
    
    
EXTRA CONTROLS
    
    Pause the game with P, quit with ESC and take screenshots with F1.


SETTINGS

    There's not much to change really. In the options menu you can
    set music and sound effects on or off and you can also change
    the keys used to play the game. While in the menu, press 
    ALT + ENTER to switch between full screen and windowed mode.
