*** BUMP N' JUMP ***

Title (C) Data East
Remake (C) 2004 Lysozyme



Barrel down the highway at top speed, avoiding the sides
of the road and the open water while bumping the other
cars off! Trees, hills, fences, and billboards zoom by.
Progress through the seasons onto different roads. Jump 
over water and other obstables and onto enemy cars. 
Crash as many enemy cars as you can for the high score!


CONTROLS

At startup, select your game resolution.
At the title, press SPACE to continue. Game begins!
You control the red car in the middle.

Left/Right Arrow Keys  -  Move your car left and right (duh)
Up/Down Arrow Keys     -  Accelerate and decelerate
Space Bar              -  Jump (only above 100 MPH)
M key                  -  Toggle in-game music on/off
Escape Key             -  Quit the game
C key                  -  Toggle Cheat unlimited lives
                          (displays "Cheat" under MPH
                          when active). 

Move your car around the roadway's obstacles and bump the
enemies. How far they will be bumped depends on your speed
and the weight of the enemy car. 

Your minimum speed is 20 MPH and your max is 220 MPH. You
may only jump when you are going above 100 MPH. You still
have control over your car while in the air so you can
guide it to a safe landing spot, or an enemy car (heh).
Watch out! If you come down over water or ground outside
the roadway, you will crash!!

Landing on an enemy car will crash it and earn you TWICE
the number of points as bumping it off the road (it takes
precision, however!). When an enemy is destroyed, look at
the crash site to see how many points you get for that car.


DISPLAY

Your speed is at the top left corner, and score and lives
left at the top right. 

As you approach water, a warning beep will sound and an
exclamation point (!) will flash in the top middle part
of the screen. Get ready to either jump over the water
or take the narrow causeway along the middle, right, or
left, if one is there!

SCORING

You score 200-500 pts per enemy car crashed. You score
DOUBLE POINTS for cars you land on!

At the end of the level, you score 100 points per enemy
car crashed (eg: 25 cars crashed will yield 2500 pts at
the end of the level, if you make it).

First bonus car at 10,000 points, then every 15,000 points
thereafter! (You're gonna need them, believe me!)
You will hear a scream of joy when you get a bonus car.


MISC

At the end of each level, you will pull into the gas 
station to refuel. The next level, season, and number
of enemy cars crashed this level will be shown, along
with bonus points.

There are 20 unique levels. After level 20, the game goes 
back to level 1. Your score does not reset.

You start with 5 cars. Game ends, obviously, when you
lose them all.


Have fun!
