SNAKE SLIDER
------------

  Snake Slider is a puzzle game for Windows. The object of the game is to move
  the green snake head-first through the exit. Move any snake by clicking the
  head or tail, then hold the mouse button and move around. You can only move
  horizontally and vertically, you cannot move a snake diagonally. A snake can
  eat certain objects, see below.

  There are several objects in the game:
  Green snake         - Must move to the exit
  Yellow snakes       - Block the way but can be moved
  Walls               - Block the way
  Apple               - Snake grows when it eats an apple
  Mushroom            - Snake shrinks when it eats a mushroom
  Dirt                - Snakes can eat through dirt
  Locks               - Block the way but can be unlocked
  Keys                - Eat key to remove locks of same colour
  Crates              - Block the way but can be pushed
  Crate with arrow(s) - Can be pushed, but only in direction of arrow
  Exit                - Move the green snake here

  Although mouse controls are recommended, you can also use the keyboard to play
  the game. By default the keyboardcursor is invisible, it will appear the first
  time you press a cursorkey. You can move the keyboardcursor with the cursor
  keys. When the keyboardcursor is over a snake's head or tail, press SPACE or
  RETURN to grab it. Now you can move the snake around, press SPACE or RETURN
  again to release it.
