-- The aim of the game.

You rule the ship and your aim is to annihilate with bombs all enemy's submarines.
The submarines are operated by the computer and they try to explode your ship
with mines. Other objects on the screen (sea creatures: fish, jellyfish, octopus) 
can influence the course of the game but they don't help intentionally neither you nor the submarines. After all the submarines on the screen are annihilated you 
pass to the next level. Before the game you have 3 lives. You loose a life when 
your ship is destroyed however you may obtain a new life if catch the octopus' 
bottle (see Sea creatures).  

-- Controlling the ship

Use the LEFT and RIGHTarrows to adjust the direction and velocity of your ship.
Press the DOWN arrow to drop a bomb.
If you need a pause press the P key (any key to resume).
To start a new level press any key.

-- Types of submarines

There are 3 types of submarines: regular ones (marked blue), "chain submarines" 
(marked red) and "smart submarines" (marked yellow). Each of submarines' types 
has its own manner of movement and shooting.

-- Sea creatures

Octopus juggles with a bottle which contains a life. To obtain the life you should 
catch the bottle after octopus let it off. Be carefull - the octopus can die if your 
bomb hits him.  
Fish eats both bombs and mines when meeting them. Fish eats the bottle as well. 
The default number of fish is 5. If you possess a registered version of the game 
you may change the number of them.
Jellyfish eats fish and bottles.

-- Scoring

Exploding a regular submarine brings you 20 points, a chain submarine - 70 
points, and a smart submarine - 100 poins. When your bomb meets a submarine's 
mine they annihilate each other and you obtain 5 points. Dropping a bomb costs 
you - 1 point.
