3) Joystick
4) One Switch - space

At any stage Escape can be pressed to return to the previous menu


Accessibility
=============

Much effort has been made to make this game as accessible as possible:

Difficulty Settings
-------------------

A range of difficulty settings (in the Game Options menu)
have been provided.  In the easiest mode, "Very Easy", the player is practically 
invincible - this will allow all players to see all the game has to offer

Controls
--------
Mouse, one switch, definable keys, definable joystick have been provided.
This allows a wide range of devices to be used with the game.  There is also an
'autofire' option, along with a clickable pause icon for users who will exclusively 
use the mouse.

All control set ups work on all screens as well as in game.  The one exception to this
is the keyboard controls - although definable for gameplay, menu controls will always
be arrow keys and enter.

The control menu provides an option to test the settings there and then, so as to 
fine tune them without the need to starting a new game.

Display
-------
A number of options have been provided to tailor the display of the game to
the user's needs.  There is a choice of 2 fonts, an in game zoom and a large
health bar display option.  The funky menu effects can also be turned on and
off (thankfully!?)

Pause
-----
The default pause button is Enter - although this can be defined.  It is also 
possible to define a pause button for the joystick.  

Captioning
----------
When the player is playing in zoomed in mode, captions appear at the side of the
screen to indicate what is happening off screen.


The Game
========

A brief tutorial is available on the main menu of the game.  This will show the
player how to play the game.



Enjoy!
