(The 4x4 red square.)\r\nTo do this, you need to charge the Ultra Cannon by collecting shards dropped by killing each of the 10 titans. (The 2x2 red squares.)\r\nTitans regenerate health, so before you fight one you'll need to collect powerups to increase your burst damage.\r\nThe game is turn-based - when you move, all enemies move.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nArrow Keys - Move\r\nS - Skip turn.\r\nSpace - Blast (Destroy enemies and walls in adjacent squares. Deal 3 hits to a titan for each square hit.)\r\nQWEADZXC - Lazor (Fire a laser in a direction, hitting and destroying the first wall hit and hitting all enemies in the path. Direction is determined by which key you use.)\r\nV - Charge (Only works with a full Ultra meter. Causes your next Lazor shot to be ultra-powerful.)\r\n\r\nAvoid or kill minions (1x1 red squares.)\r\nBright red minions can move 2 spaces per turn.\r\nOrange minions move 3.\r\nSome minions look like walls.\r\nMinions rarely drop health pickups - brighter minions have a better chance of dropping a pickup.\r\n\r\nGreen pickups are health, pink pickups increase maximum blast charge, yellow pickups increase maximum lazor charge, and cyan pickups heal and charge ultra.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\nYou start near the top left corner. If you still can't find yourself, try using the blast to clear your area.\r\nDon't even try shooting at titans unless you have at least 4 of a pickup.\r\nIf a titan steps on you, use blast to deal massive damage.\r\nTitans destroy walls when they step on them.\r\nDon't go near the ultra-titan unless you're ready to fight it or you'll be running away for quite a while.","title":"Maze of Titans"}
