Intro
============

Thank you for downloading Super Dungeon Run from Do-Jin Nyuu!  We hope you will have as much fun playing this game as we had fun making it.  After several weeks in development (a short time for our members in comparison to some of the previous projects, trust me), the game is finally able to be released here at the grand opening of our website.  This document contains some important info, and a few tips on how to effectively play.  So sit back, and skim through -- you might find a few surprises. :3

SFDR was programmed by Podunkian w/help from Nobuyuki.
Sprite art is mostly by Podunkian, some trap/icon gfx by Nobuyuki.
Title graphic and Credits CG animation by Nobuyuki.
Sound FX from various sources such as RPG maker, some chimes by Nobuyuki.
Music soundtrack composed by Nobuyuki.

How to Play
============

The concept of SFDR is rather simple.  Traps are littered throught the dungeon, and you must avoid them!  Use the ablitities given to you to avoid everything as best you can, and as quickly as you can.  If you wait too long, the boulder will smash you!  It is quite possible you will lose more than one life, because the boulder is invincible and you will always be crushed if you touch it.  If you get a high score, you may submit it to Do-jin Nyuu's Highscore board.  Simply type in your name and press enter, and it will appear in your browser window (you must be connected to the internet for the score to submit).

============
The Controls
============

SFDR uses keyboard controls.  Joystick isn't supported, but it might be in a later version;  stay tuned. (^^;)

Shift:  Jump
Ctrl: Velocity brake (while in midair)  
L/R:  Moves you! (tip:  run to the RIGHT)

============
The Enemies
============

In SFDR, you start with 4 lives.  All enemies kill you with one hit, with the exception of the vine.  If you should die and have lives remaining, you'll respawn nearby the trap that killed you and will be given 2 seconds invincibility.  Be careful, and good running!

The Boulder:  Your #1 enemy.  It cannot be defeated, and your invincibility will not protect you from it.  Don't wait around too long for anything, or else you will be smashed!

Floor/Ceiling Spikes:  These shoot up from the ground and ceiling if you get too close to them. Floor Spikes are worth 100 pts.  They are the most dangerous when grouped together in packs;  Tap the velocity brake to move through them as fast as you can before The Boulder gets to you.  Ceiling Spikes are worth 75 pts.  If you're running too fast and jump too high, you could get impaled on them, so be aware!

Vines:  These are worth 50 pts.  You cannot be killed by the vines, but if you touch one, it will trap you, and you must press SHIFT as fast as you can.  These are very dangerous in the later levels, as The Boulder becomes an ever more dangerous presence!

Stalagmites:  Worth 75 pts each, some fall and some do not.  Don't stand  still underneath one unless you want a splitting headache tomarrow :)

Flame Jets:  These are worth 125 points.  When you get a certain length from them, flames will start to come out at regular intervals.  Sometimes they are too tall to jump, but they usually aren't!  These are the most dangerous traps because it is easy to make a small mistake in timing and get killed.

============
Omake mode
============

Everyone loves a little extra gifts or bonus.  We're no different.  If you score a high enough score in SFDR (or play enough times), you will unlock some of the secret extras we stuffed in there.  Any more detail and it wouldn't be as much fun! There's also one super secret in there... see if you can find it, good luck!! (d_^-^)

============
Trouble
============

Having some problems running SFDR?  Did you try installing MMF runtimes?  Check out www.clickteam.com for Multimedia Fusion runtimes, or the Do-jin Nyuu website.  If you wish to reset your unlocked Omake due to corrupt files or just to unlock them again, press F11 at in the Omake screen.  WARNING:  This cannot be undone.
