HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
Be sure to read the tips.txt file also, in which you can read two useful
pieces of advice for playing.
You have to ride a motorbike and complete the various stages. You can get to
the next level only by completing the previous one successfully. You can skip
two levels altogether, but you can complete a previously skipped level later.
You can choose to play on any of the levels you have previously completed.
For all stages the best six times are recorded along with the name of the
player. The levels become progressively more and more difficult to complete.
To control your motorbike while playing, you can push the following keys:
UP arrow: accelerate (this puts a constant degree of force on the rear wheel).
DOWN arrow: block both wheels.
RIGHT arrow: turn the bike clock-wise.
LEFT arrow: turn the bike anticlock-wise.
SPACE: turns your bike around so you can go in the opposite direction.
During the various stages there are several objects that appear on the screen.
You can contact an object by touching it with your helmet or any of your wheels.
The three different object types are:
FOOD object: You have to touch all of these before you can accomplish a level.
If you touch it, it will disappear.
KILLER object: You will die if you touch it.
EXIT object: You can finish the level by touching it. (It works only if you
have already collected all of the food objects). The exit object is
a flower.

I would like to thank the following people for helping to create this game:

things. He made all the menu pictures and designed the levels 5 and 14.
Dylan Cooper gave me linguistic help, gave all the levels their names
and tested the game so extensively, that at the moment he is the fastest
player in the world.
Second fastest is my younger brother, Csaba Rózsa. He also designed level 24.

sound samples.
