Beta
----

This is the first beta release of this game, so it SHOULD be very
buggy. TNH hate insects, report 'em so we can kill 'em! The full
version will be available soon via our homepage *** for free ***.

Contact us for any legal reason or bug report using Phenomenon's
email address:

HitWare¿
-------

This piece of software is HitWare¿, which means that if you want
the full version of the game to be released, you have to go to our
homepage so we can count another hit! If there are enough hits on
our page, we will continue the development of the game. Nahh! We
will finish it anyway. :-)

Our homepage URL is http://root.mypage.org


The story
---------
...Is yet to be written. Check our homepage for the latest release.


Controlling the game
--------------------
Hmnmm... Quite easy. Just use the Jaguar joypad A to move CrackMan
and [fire B] to lay a mine, if collected.

In some levels you can collect mines, and lay them down using [fire
b]. Note that you have to hold down fire b until you see a mine is
being dropped. When ghosts walk over a mine, they're dead. Bam.

The game can also be controlled with the keyboard, but laying mines
is a bit more difficult, because Phenomenon wasn't in the mood to
write proper keyboard routines... Try hitting spacebar a few times
when the mine fails to appear on the screen.


The future
----------

The next versions of the game will include: (in no particular order)

* 4 screens of playarea, 4 directional scrolling.
* More bonuses (SPEED bonus, for example).
* Better ghost AI.
* More music.
* More graphics.
* A nicer score balk.
* Quit to the desktop option.


But in the mean time,
---------------------

Have fun with this version!
