 SpeedHack Rules
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Insanity
 --------
  Enemy ships that fly around insanely, bananas in space, etc.

 Time
 ----
  The player gets extra points for completing the levels under a certain
 time.

 Multiple Players
 ----------------
  Every time the player hits a banana in two player mode, their friend
 is forced to take the wheel. In one player mode, the player has to move
 their hands. The game automatically knows whether there is one or two
 players.

 Show no humans
 --------------
  Ships are shown instead of humans.

 Bananas
 -------
  Bananas are used to get points, life, and to switch the driving
 position.

 Act of Act of Recursiveness
 ---------------------------
  I chose to ignore the bonus rule.

 About the Game
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 You simply fly around space collecting bananas to protect your ship.
 At the end of each level, a high score is checked.

 How to Play
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Use the arrow keys to control the ship and space to shoot. In
multiplayer mode, the second player uses WASD to move, and space to
shoot. Press F3 to quit to the main menu. The ship can go through rocks
if you go sideways. Front on impact is the only thing that magic space
rock will stop. 100 points are gained for completing the game. This is
because the final level is exceptionally difficult, and players tended
to end up with fewer points than they had when they started the level.

 Things you should know
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 If you actually manage to finish the third level, email me, I wish to
make it impossible to complete. This has two bonuses. People have a
very large sense of achievement if they actually win, and people have
something to work towards whenever they are bored.
