1.Story
 These days all the most ruthless criminals and traitors are not being killed, but captured and transported to the prison planet "Rhamos".
 There only the strongest of prisoners survive the hard enviroment. There is however a possibility to get out of the planet... Only chance is to take part of a killing gameshow, the Bazooka Challenge.
 The military wants excellent soldiers to their whatever purposes and there is a certain number of recruits they desire. The mass of prisoners wanting out is enormous compared to military's need, so they'll have a Bazooka Challenge tournament and it will take as long until the number of challengers has decreased to correlate the need.


2.Start menu items
There are several options in the menu. Most important is to choose a scene from the "maps" directory, because if you don't do that, you'll be playing in a fully blank scene.

Game Mode: In single player and team mode you are sent to a clean sweep. Something went terribly wrong in experiments over a new morph breed and what's worse, they melted their way out of the lab... Task is simple, destroy all morphs.
The duel mode is bazooka challenge against other human player.


Rounds: I hope I don't have to explain this one...
Destructible walls: Hmm... The missiles will make nice holes to the walls :)

Autofire: You can just hold the fire-button (rather not very close to walls or other objects)
Bouncymode: This could be fun <:)

Barrels: ...filled with something explosive or poisonous. You can adjust how heavy the barrels will be and how much they can take damage, should they spread shrapnel and/or flames (flames only for explosive barrels).

Morphs: Nasty creatures, once tried to take over the earth and annihilate mankind. Originally intelligent lizard-like creatures that could morph their body into something we'd call slimeball...
 However morphs used in Bazooka Challenge are genetically manipulated version that lacks the intelligence of the original morph and shouldn't be able to morph into lizard-like form. Additionally this form can reproduce quite rapidly by dividing.

 The number of parts in on divide can be adjusted, as well as the number generations before the perish.
 Also the health and offence mode (try the modes yourself!) can be adjusted.
 If you pick the acid setting on the morphs gradually melt their way through... Almost anything.

 Level editor: check number 5.

3.Keys

4.Playing the game
 Try to kill your opponent by shooting a homing missile at him/her.
 Try to avoid getting missile in your head because it will very likely kill you. Also avoid getting in any explosions, because they also kill you
 Watch out for the morphs, they'll start to digest you at the same second they touch you... 
 Depending to the offence mode (in a duel) you can find some ways to lure morphs after your opponent >:)
 Utilize the fact that the empty borders wrap you to the other end of the scene - Remember the fact that also the morphs, missiles and other stuff will be wrapped as well
 Try NOT to shoot the walls too near you, that'll end your life quite too soon :P
Here comes the hard part : If you press and hold the firebutton, the missile flies straightforward, but the second you release the button, it starts homing towards your opponent. (this doesn't work in autofire mode)

From the boxes you'll find many neat weapons and other helpful things... However you should watch out because some boxes hold not so nice surprises =S


5.Level Editor
 You get to the level editor from the lower right corner button in start menu

 From the right edge you can choose between pieces: empty, wall, morph, barrel, box. You can put the chosen item into level by pressing left mouse button in the place you want it.

 Loading and saving the level: "Load" and "Save" -buttons

 Starting points of the players: Move the mouse cursor where you want the blue player to start and press numeric key 1. To set green players start point press 2.

 We are very sorry for the bugs in the editor. The worst bugs occur when loading the level =S
