Introduction

Your  name is Star Boy.  Your task should you accept it is to rid your home
planet  of  all bombs that have been planted by the a evil task master from
the  north.   His  reason is to rid all stars because he feels they are too
happy looking.

Armed  to  the teeth with only your stars, you set out on your adventure of
freedom.

Good Luck Star Boy, You`ll need it!!

The Game

Before  each world you are presented with a flying stage.  This is based on
a timer.  When the percentage reaches 100 the level will be complete.  Each
time  you  are hit, a percentage is taken off.  If the percentage reaches 0
then you will loose a life.

Controls

Up - Fly up
Down - Fly down
Right - Fly right
Left - Fly left
Fire - Fire a star straight ahead

The  objective  of each level is to make it to the exit in one piece.  Some
levels  may involve disarming bombs along the way and will not let you exit
until this is done.  The number to be disarmed is indicated along the score
panel.   Up  against  you  a  various enemies.  These can be disposed of by
throwing  stars  at  them.   Watch out though as some of the larger enemies
cannot be destroyed!!!

To help you in your quest are teleporters.  Once walked into, transport you
to  another area on the level.  Also you will come across doors.  These can
be  open and closed by walking over different colour switches on the floor.
Pink  coloured  switches  will  open the doors, and yellow will close.  You
will know if you have activated a switch due to the creaking sound.

If  you  loose all your lives the game is over and it's back to the control
