HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
Be sure to read the tips.txt file also, in which you will find two useful
pieces of advice for playing the game.
You have to ride a motorbike and complete the various stages. You can get to
the next level only by completing the previous one successfully. You can skip
three levels in total, but you can go back and complete a previously skipped
level later. You can choose to play on any of the levels you have previously
completed.
For all stages the best six times are recorded along with the name of the
player. The levels become progressively more and more difficult to complete.
To control your motorbike while playing, you use the following keys:
UP arrow or A: accelerate (this puts a constant degree of force on the
rear wheel).
DOWN arrow or Z: block both wheels.
RIGHT arrow or M: turn the bike clock-wise.
LEFT arrow or N: turn the bike anticlock-wise.
SPACE: turns your bike around so you can go in the opposite direction.
During the various stages there are several objects that appear on the screen.
You can contact an object by touching it with your helmet or any of your wheels.
The three different object types are:
FOOD object: You have to touch all of these before you can accomplish a level.
If you touch it, it will disappear.
KILLER object: You will die if you touch it.
EXIT object: You can finish the level by touching it. (It works only if you
have already collected all of the food objects). The exit object is a flower.
You can read about the built in editor in the file EDITOR.TXT.
