---SPEEDBEAR---

BE BEAR, I LIVE!

(An arcade game made in a night... 
ostensibly for the Tigsource.com B-Game
Competition, but really just because
I haven't made anything for a while.
So I didn't really read the rules.
Any excuse to make something crap will do.)


INSTRUCTIONS (they're in the game, too):

Move with the arrow keys, shoot with the 
shift key. You can break walls, kill enemies,
and stun the siniboat-eyeball-thingy by
shooting.
Collect the treasure chests (yeah, that's
what they're supposed to be) to reveal the
exit.

You can score coins by breaking walls and
killing enemies (the latter is much more
profitable later in the game), and when
you have enough for a purchase your coin
display will blink. 
You can press 1, 2 or 3 to buy upgrades.
You can move faster or have more bullets
on the screen this way. You may also 
buy shields, which just protect you from
one hit. You're better off spending your
coins on speed or bullets early on. Costs
increase every time you make a purchase.

I'm not sure what bears sound like when
they explode so I just did a wookiee noise.

--------------------------------
Version 1.1: Now you can get back into the
action faster by holding shift and selecting
the blue bear. You'll start at stage 8.
