***************SATRO***************
Welcome to Sa`Tro a puzzle game set in
space. The objective is to link up tiles
in order to get the highest combo. Good
luck and have fun playing.


***************INSTRUCTIONS***************
.:ARCADE:.
The goal of the game in arcade mode is to 
get the longest going reaction of tiles as
possible. If the sidebeams of the tiles 
connect with each other they will turn.


.:PUZZLE:.
Puzzle mode is a mode in which passing
gets harder the farther along you get. The 
goal is to climb as many levels as you can.
As you reach a certain percentage of unique
tiles turned in the different difficulties 
you will lose square. It looks like this:

Medal         Percentage   
Bronze           70            
Silver           85            
Gold            100            

Difficulty              Tiles Lost
Beginner                     01
Intermediate                 02
Expert                       03

Once you have achieved the percentage of 
unique tiles it requires to earn any of 
the three medals you will be asked if
the medal is acceptable. Sorry for dvorak
and other layout users but you need to 
use the QWERTY positions for y and n.

Click the mouse to turn the tile one 
rotation clockwise. Pressing the escape 
key will bring you back to the menu.

after one minute. At this time you can answer yes or no in
order to keep going or not. The score from the reaction 
will be lost. An answer of no will continue the reaction
