 About graphics 
----------------

No graphics! ASCII based game in Screen 0!! :D

 Story 
-------

Words are angry, people doesn't know how to type them and they will revenge 
attacking your system. You should destroy them by typing correctly the invader 
words.

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

You will be attacked by five words (lenght 1 to 7 characters) at the same time. 
If you type correctly a word it will dissapear and a new word will attack you in 
the same column... but faster!

When you type a correct character at the beginning of a word it will dissapear. 
Sometimes more than one word start with the same character, and you will destroy 
all of them. But... if you type the incorrect character, the word will raise 
again.

Example: Words DATA and DEFDBL start with D. If you type D, words will appear as 
ATA and EFDBL. Now, if you type A, words will appear as TA and DEFDBL, and so 
on...

Of course it's possible to destroy more than one word at the same time. If so, 
you will obtain n^2 points destroying n words (1 word = 1 point, 2 words = 4 
points, 3 words = 9 points...)

You can obtain 100 bonus points if you can type 100 correct characters with no 
typos. You can see number of correct characters in the "CORRECT" counter and 
last correct typed chars. If you're a great typist you're lucky!

 Enemy set
-----------

the title screen, and moving right or left to select desired set.
