				Gameplay
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Climb the tower, gathering as many points as possible on your way to the
goal. To do this, you must hit as many walls as possible while being
careful not to spend too much power.

Each shot uses 1-7 power, and when the power is out, you cannot shoot.
Once a wall has been hit, it will light up, indicating that you have
gotten points for hitting it.

In the first few levels you also get a slight amount of power for
each wall you lighten up.

The final score is 2*(number of walls hit) + (remaining power).



				Editor

Windows:
Start 	TowerEdit.exe
or 	toweredit.bat

Instructions are available from within the editor. A map can be loaded
into the game by pressing [L].
