 ==User guide==
-Move ship over the map and kill everything that moves. After wiped out all nasty enemies, player would advance to the next more difficult level.
+Move your ship over the map and kill everything that moves. After you wiped out all nasty enemies you advance to the next and more difficult level.
-Every time an enemy is destroied (discounting meteorite fragments), this will release a power-up that will help resisting the attack of the upper levels. These objects come at random, and nothing guarantees that go the same for each item:
+You can steer your ship over a quite large map. The map is surrounded by a wall, so the game play is more or less like Asteroids-In-A-Box.
-:'''Energy''' (Power): Increases the life of the ship in 10 points.
+Enemy contact drains your energy. The amount of energy you lose, depends on the contact time. Some enemies drop a Power Up when killed. Collecting a Power Up gives you one out of 4 prices (random).
-:'''Shield''' (armor): Makes the ship invincible for 10-20 seconds (variable).
-:'''Power Bullet''' (bullet power): Each X shots, one bullet to be a (white), which does double damage.
+===Power Up===
-:'''Helper Energy Ball''' (assistant energy ball): Appears to be around a ball around the house (up to 5).
+'''Energy''' - Increase the Ship energy by 10.
+Shield - The ship is invincible for a short time (10-20 seconds).
+Power Bullet - Doubles the damage. The more Power Bullets you get the more of your shots turn into Power Bullets.
+Helper Energy Ball - This Ball cruises around your ship. If the energy ball hits an enemy it needs 1.5 seconds to regenerate. You can get up to 5 enery balls.
+===Ememies===

+The BH releases an enemy (Asteroid, Patrol, Following Saucer) every 10 seconds. In this state it is invulnerable. After releasing 10 enemies the BH turns into a smaller, shooting version. The small BH has some gravity influence on the player ship and shoots directly into the Ship direction. This small BH can be destroyed with 6 hits.

+* Hit Points - (large) 5, (small) 2.
+* Score - (large) 5, (small) 10.
