------------The Blob Game v1.0 readme--------------

Installation notes:
-------------------

To install, unpack the contents of the self extracting zip file into any directory you wish.  (of course, you have probably already done that if you are reading this file.)

once unpacked, all necessary files should be written into the correct directories created upon unpacking.

To run the game once it has been unpacked, simply run blobgame.exe which should, by default, reside in the initial directory that you unpacked it to.

How to Play:
------------

The game can be controlled with a standard keyboard, an analog joystick or gamepad, or both.

Keyboard Controls:
Arrow Keys - move character/change menu option
Space Bar - attack/accept menu option
Left Ctrl - character cannot move while held (for changing direction in place)
Escape - immediately exit game

Joystick/Gamepad Controls:
X/Y Analog axis - more character/change menu option
button 1 - attack/accept menu option
button 2 - character cannot move while held (for changing direction in place)

---------------------
Uninstallation notes:
---------------------

This program puts no files on your computer outside of the initial directory that you have unpacked.  Additionally, it makes no changes to the registry or system files.

Therefore, to uninstall, simply delete the contents of the folder you unpacked it to, and it will be gone forever.
