It should work as a standalone file.\r\n\r\nTo begin, just press TAB to toggle 1 or 2 players. 1 player is versus a (bad) AI opponent. 2 players the recommended choice, but it is only suitable when one is on the Mouse\/KB and the other is on a game controller. Press SPACE to play with Mouse\/KB or START to play with a controller.\r\n\r\nShoot the enemy! Get their health down to 0. A novel concept, I'm sure you'll agree. The game is minimalistic since everything is made from code-generated circles, with the exception of the in-game text.\r\n\r\nWASD on the KB to move, or Left Stick on the controller. Shoot by clicking in the direction you want to shoot. You can hold the Left Mouse Button down if you wish. The controller uses the Right Stick to shoot. You can 'pick' a colour from directly under you - just right click or press Button 1 ('A' on the 360 controller). Each colour gives you a bonus, proportional to its brightness:\r\n\r\nRed: Speed\r\nBlue: Shot power\r\nGreen: Health regeneration\r\n\r\nYou can mix and match colours by moving over circles that overlap. For example, Purple will make you both fast AND powerful!\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy playing it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMy creation is released under this license: http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/3.0\/legalcode\r\n<\/p>","title":"Colour Wars"}
