Staroid
-------
 A game for the Retro Remakes 2008 competation, for the "We Like It Retro" category.

 I've tried to follow C64 graphics limitations.

 The instructions are quite minimal to capture the joy(?) of playing budget C64
games back in the day with only the inadequate cassette inlay to give advice.
(And also because I'm running out time to write them)


Objective
---------
 An asteroid, collision course with Earth, yada yada.

 As usual, you get sent to fix it with next to no equipment. Usual story.

 Go fix the engines by finding the coloured hexagonal thingies and putting 
them in the right place.

 Hopefully find some tools to help you. You'll have to figure out what they're
good for yourself.

 Oh, and your suit's air pump is a bit knackered, so it won't refill fully
under normal conditions. The asteroid has a breathable atmosphere, but don't
go swimming for too long!


Controls (gameplay)
-------------------
Up:         Jump. You can jump off walls by pushing away from the wall and 
                   jump at the same time.
Down:       Pickup/Drop items and use teleporters
Left/Right: Move left and right
'Z':        Attack (Note that your gun requires ammunition)

These are redefinable from the title page.
Also, a joystick may be used.
