Bob is the world's dumbest stick figure.  He doesn't think too much.

One day, he finds his original game, BobGame, missing from the internet and from his
calculator!  He joins his friends, who all look and act just like him, who set out to
find the kidnapper.

Members of the TI community aren't too happy about this... can Bob defeat them as well?

The object of each level is to defeat every enemy to open the pink doors.  Once the pink doors
have opened, you can engage the level boss.  Some levels are boss fights, and you simply
destroy the boss.  The boss may take many hits, but each enemy only takes one hit to kill.  Beat
level 10 to win the game and see your score!  Try to get the highest score.

Bob's Taser Laser is a high-tech super-weapon.  However, it will not fire off of the screen, and
the range will not allow shots to exit the screen.  You can fire in all eight directions.

The main enemies are blobs.  They kill Bob and his buddies with a simple touch.  Shoot them first!
There are three types: blue normal, red chasers, and green speedsters.  

Bosses can be killed by many hits from the Taser Laser.  Each one has a different strategy: some
kill by touch, others shoot.  Some do both!

In most levels, you start off with 7 stick men.  They can die easily, so protect them carefully.
The more of them you have when you defeat the boss, the more points you will get.  If they all
die, you will be forced to restart the level and there is a small point reduction.  Your score
can be negative, so don't die too much!

The level maps are often very large, so there is a scrolling feature.  The level will scroll to
a certain stick man.  If that one dies, the game finds a different one to scroll to.  This is 
called the "Lead Bob".  He is the one that some bosses will aim their weaponry at.

If you are having trouble on a particular stage, move slowly!  There is no time limit!

Red chaser blobs can move through walls.  Be careful, and shoot quickly!

Look for patterns in the Bosses' movements and shooting patterns.  There may be safe spots.

Don't let your stick men off the screen!  They won't fire, and are still vulnerable to enemies.
