-------------------Basics--------------------
You start with 3 lives. On the first 3 levels you need to climb the ladder up to where you girlfriend is. On level 4, you need to touch all of the tnt switches. You can collect points by grabbing money bags and by jumping over barrels. Each time you reach you girlfriend,except level 4, donkey kong will grab her and take her away to the next level.

     You can adjust the difficulty level useing the difficulty slider on the main menu, this adjust the speed at which everything moves. 

      Your lives, score, and needed points for another life are shown in the top-left corner. A 1UP sign will appear in the middle of the screen when you get another life.

      When you die, you enter your name into the hiscore table. From the hiscore table, you can press 'c' to clear it, and space to go to the main menu.

      When you beat the game, you enter your name in the hiscore table, then restarts the game at level 1 with the same amount of lives and score as when you beat the game, but this time there is a difficulty increase. You can keep looping around the game getting lots of points, but you will probobly die when everything starts moving reeeeeaaaaaaaaaallllllly fast.

On level 4 you must touch all the tnt switches to blow donkey kong up.
