1. Installation and Demo Changes
++++++++++++++++++

Unzip the contents of this folder and run PixelMan.exe.  Sheesh, I feel like I'm playing MegaMan Battle Network... that'd be my net navi's name!  Ahem...  It's the one that has an icon that looks like a smiley face.  Cool, huh?  Anyways, that's it.  There really isn't even an installer or anything!  It's cool, huh?

Heh, it's kind of ironic that there's actually LESS in demo three than there was in demo two.  There's only one world!  But...

-There's a whole new engine, and brand-new graphics
-Pixel Man can now jump on enemies and perform a spinning double jump
-The levels are all new, and the difficulty has been toned down from impossible to possible
-It's just cooler, overall.  Oh, yes, and it's not fullscreen.  It looked sooooo ugly...

2. Controls and Gameplay
++++++++++++++++++

Left: Move Left
Right: Move Right
Space Bar: Jump
Enter: Pause

The goal of each level is to reach the flag at the end.  Not hard, huh?  Well, there are plenty of obstacles for Pixel Man to overcome!  In order to survive, you'll have to utilize Pixel Man's jumping ability.  There are a few things you should note:

-You must hold the jump button in order to jump higher.
-Certain enemies can be stomped to death!  Simply jump on them!  If you hold down the jump button, Pixel Man will be able to jump higher than normal off of an enemy!  
(Note that not everything can be destroyed this way.  Spikey foes and fireballs should not be jumped on!)
-Pixel Man can perform a spinning double jump!  All you have to do is press the jump button again while he is in the air.

If you get hit by an enemy, you must restart the stage, and you lose a life!  Don't lose all of your lives, or it's game over!  But don't despair!  There are two ways to get extra lives:

-Collect 100 gems.  Green gems count as ten gems in one!
-Collect a 1up.  These are often hidden or out of reach.

You may encounter a boss character after a few levels!  In order to complete the level, you must reduce the boss's health meter to zero.  Try jumping on the boss's head!

4. Hints and Help

I... umm... well, there isn't that much of a game yet.  But if you still need help, feel free to email me.  Otherwise, here are some general hints:

-Stock up on extra lives on level one!  It's full of gems and has an easy-to-get 1up!
-In level two, right after the spiny enemies, you'll notice a path going upwards.  Rather than going up there, you can jump down below in a leap of faith.  If you're holding right, you'll skip a decent portion of the level!
-Just because you can't see some things off of the screen doesn't mean that nothing's there...
-To defeat the boss, just jump on his head!  Be sure to hold the jump key so you bounce!  Just don't touch the drill.  In case you're wondering, I am a fan of Sonic games.











OMG YOU READ THE WHOLE THING!  YOU'VE MADE ME SO HAPPY THAT I COULD VOMIT!
