NAME
       powermanga - shoot-'em-up game

SYNOPSIS
       powermanga [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       Powermanga  is  a shoot'em up game; you will have to fight more than 60
       different types of enemies.

       You start with a ship, and enemies show up throwing bombs at you. Shoot
       them, and get better weapons for your ship (otherwise, you won't go too
       far!)

       To get better weapons, you will have to catch green and red gems. When‐
       ever  you pick a green gem, the highlighted option at the right side of
       the screen goes up one unit.

       The options are, from the bottom to the top:

       - More speed

       - More energy to your ship
	      If you get out of energy, you lose your ship. Losing  your  ship
	      means  either  going  back to the ship you were using before you
	      "upgraded' it, or dying if you had no  previous  ship!  You  can
	      check your energy level in the little bar at the bottom (the bar
	      at the right is yours; the one at the left is your  enemy's,  in
	      case you're fighting a big one)

       - Several options for different weapons

       - The last option gets you a better ship

       If the current option is "more power to the leftside straight weapons",
       for example, you may select it and they will immediately take effect.

       If the current option is already the last, and you pick a green or  red
       gem, you will go back to the first one (but you will get an extra side-
       weapon). Also, whenever you pick an option,  the	 current  option  goes
       back to the first one.

THE GEMS
       During the game, you will sometimes see gems falling down when an enemy
       is destroyed. You may catch those gems:

       - Green gems
	      As we said before, makes the current option go up one unit.

       - Red gems
	      Similar to the green gem, but it increases 2 units instead of 1.

       - Pink gems
	      Gives energy to your ship. If your  energy  is  at  the  maximum
	      level,  this  gem	 will  give you a full blast that destroys all
	      enemies currently on the screen.

       - Blue gems
	      They multiply the score points for each destroyed enemy by 2. If
	      you  get	the blue gem again, the score points are multiplied by
	      4; you can see the "2x" or "4x" blinking at the sidebar.

       - Yellow gems
	      These give you protection balls. If you already have six protec‐
	      tion  balls  and you get another yellow gem, you will get a spe‐
	      cial weapon!

CHANGING SHIPS
       When you get a better ship, you will be able to accumulate more energy,
       becoming	 more  resistant  to  attacks. But whenever you "upgrade" your
       ship, a few things will happen:

       - Protection
	      You will lose all your protection balls (let's say  they're  not
	      "compatible" with your new ship).

       - Weapons
	      You  will	 lose  one  "degree"  in your weapons (if you had used
	      green gems to get the best possible weapon for shooting straight
	      forward, for example, after upgrading your ship you will have to
	      get one more green gem if you want your weapons at  the  maximum
	      power.)

       - Score
	      If your score was getting multiplied by 2 or 4, it won't be any‐
	      more (go get more blue gems!)
