Eat bonuses - they'll make you feel ok. Examples? Here they go:
  o  key - will take you straight to the next level
  o  icecream - additional points
  o  pegasus shoes - you'll move very faaaast (be carefull though ;-)
After you'll eat all dots you'll advance to the next level.

And remember to make best score possible - hiscore table is waiting 
for winners!

[F12] - take a screen shot (works anywhere in the game)
[F]   - show FPS (frame per second) rate
[B]   - "boss key" - leave game quickly
