Introduction
------------

You must prevent the rapidly growing blight from growing too big. You can do
this by shooting remover bullets against the blight. When the bullets hit it,
that will remove part of the blight. Amount of remover bullets is limited.
They will regenerate over time. If you remove a big branch with one hit or
several branches simultaneously, you will get a branch size bonus. This will
give you extra points and remover bullets.

Command Line Parameters
-----------------------

By default the game tries to initialize a suitable full sceren mode, and those

You can use command line parameter 'w' to force only windowed modes and
parameter 'f' to force testing of only fullscreen modes.
