===================
  ii) How to Play
===================

This game is very simple. All you have to do is to eliminate every enemy in
the level and move on to the next one. Yes, this game is somewhat like Tetris,
with infinity levels. You will only have three lives to deal with. For every
third level, you will be placed upon a pagoda, but there's no bonus level. 

Of course, to eliminate an enemy, you have to throw a shuriken at them.

Enemies
-------
Black Ninja --- The easiest enemy to eliminate, those dudes mirrors you by
                throwing shurikens (horizontally only) at you. If you bump
                upon one of those, it will be momentarily stunned, and you
                have the initative to attack them cold-blooded.

Blob ---------- A more harder enemy, it throws sonic-boom-esque projectiles
                which dips down a bit, so be careful when jumping up to it,
                one of the projectiles might nip you just before you reach
                the platform. 

Ninja Cat ----- First appears on the top platform of the fourth stage, this
                mother throws bombs all over the place. Beware of its bombs
                and eliminate it as you would as any other Black Ninja.

Fire ---------- Not really an enemy, but it kills you anyway. In some levels,
                if you've taken quite some time to defeat the enemies, a fire
                will seek you out to force you to go on faster. It's a pain
                in the ass, you can't stop it with your puny shurikens... just
                finish the level ASAP!

Scoring System
--------------
Black Ninja - 100
Blob - 200
Cat - 300
Scroll - 100~300 (depending on enemy)
Time - 10 per second (after completion of a level)
Falling Orb - 1000

Dying
-----
-A projectile from one of the enemies hits you
-A homing flame finally touches you
-That's it! If an enemy physically touches you, you two will be stunned,
 nothing more.

=============
  iii) Tips
=============

-WIth Black Ninja, sneak up from behind and bump one of them to stun them and
 you can defeat them easier this way.

-Also with Black Ninjas, you can just wait for them to come down to your
 platform first and shoot them down as soon as they come down.

-You have unlimited ammo, don't worry about your accuracy, just throw like
 crazy!

-With the blobs, just stay BEHIND THEM, even when they're on a different
 platform. This way, when you jump up or they come down/up, you're already
 facing their ass and they will not be able to attack you. Once they face you,
 they're going to kill you. 

-Don't worry about the scrolls or anything, just concentrate on the kills. In
 the later levels, a flame will come after you if you don't kill them all 
 quickly enough!

-As for the cats... just dodge their bombs and kill them ASAP. The bombs are
 not that tough to dodge, just plan your escape out and jump to the cat's
 platform and fire away.

-You can actually parry the projectiles from the enemies by throwing shurikens
 at them. This is effective against Black Ninja's attacks, but not so good
 against Blob's and Cat's attacks since they are too fast and there are too
 many of them at once.

-Don't jump up or down to platforms with multiple enemies, wait until there
 is only one of them and jump away.

-Have any more? Let me know!


==============
  iv) Levels
==============

There are only three, and they will repeat themselves over and over again,
only in different colors. The first one looks like a sandy mountain, then the
second one looks like a steel mountain... The third one looks the coolest,
being a pagoda.
