****************
A new germ has been developed through genetic engineering.
Its purpose was for biological warfare,
however, the scientists underestimated the effects of the germ,
and tested it on unknowing victims.
These people became sick within hours, and were dead after 24 hours.
No vaccine was made. The heroic Dr Goo has volunteered to collect
the required substances to make a vaccine. But the germ is spreading
fast and there is not much time! Help Dr Goo to find the ingredients
for the vaccine and save the world before time runs out...
****************
Use the arrow keys to control Dr Goo. Press Shift to jump, and Ctrl
to toggle switches (controls can be changed from the Game menu).
Collect 5 medicine boxes containing the ingredients in each stage
and find the exit to complete the stage.
If all boxes are not collected the stage cannot be passed.
If you find yourself at the end and cannot get the previous boxes,
stand on the nearest teleport platform, hold Ctrl and press
jump. This will teleport Dr Goo to the start of the stage.
Press Esc during intro story to skip it.
Press Esc during the game to abort the mission.
At the beginning of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th stage there is a level

(Dr Goo can not jump through them, but he can stick to them)
# occasionally when Dr Goo is close to the edge of the screen,
