III. ---How to use this guide/Controls
================================================
This guide is pretty much just a bunch of ASCII maps of each stage in the game,
which show you the locations of the Fuzors you have to collect, obstacles, etc.
Each map is 12x11, and there are four maps, or racks, in each "Phase".
Note: The grid is technically 13x12, but the rim never has anything on it but
enemies that you really don't want to get too close to. However, it is possible
to fly your ship on this rim.
Now, onto the controls. They're very simple; Your ship is constantly moving
forward, so turn Up, Down, Left, or Right with the control pad. You fly over
things called "Fuzors" to get points and advance to the next level, sort of
like how you collect pellets in Pacman. You fire a laser with Fire Button 1,
which is used to collect Fuzors without actuallying colliding with them, and is
also used to shoot down enemies and other obstacles.
Note: You move up and down on a simple grid, so some "snapping" occurs.
Therefore, dodging enemy fire or obtaining Fuzors can sometimes be annoying.
Note2: In later stages, your laser is far more useful in collecting Fuzors than
it is at the beginning. It's the only thing you've got that can collect the
latter-level Fuzors fast enough for the Skip-A-Rack bonus, which allows you to,
duh, skip a rack.
On the four sides of the grid are enemies, one for each side. These things are
pretty much invincible; laser fire can stun them for a short while, but even
then they can still attack. Fortunately, they're attacks are short-distance
and slow-moving, so they're only a threat if you need to get Fuzors that are
close to them.
Note: There is a fast-moving object in later stages that, when shot or collided
with, stuns all four of the sideline enemies.
Besides movement and enemies, there are what I call Worm Holes(Because that's
what they look like. >_>;) and round blue disks that give you a lot of points
when shot/collected. "Worm Holes" just turn you around, not very detrimental
to your progress, and an even lesser threat because a single shot crushes them
into total nothingness. The blue disks give a variety of different point
amounts, depending on how fast you collected them and such.
