  \  // // // //  \ STORY
   \//_//_//_//____\__________________________________________________________

 Sqrxz and his girlfriend were on a romantic adventure journey in a jungle
 somewhere here on our planet. All of a sudden Yve gets kidnapped by an evil
 power and Sqrxz is forced to collect dozens of shiny little rings to free her.
 The old ruins he has to explore are anything else than safe. Traps are spread
 all over the place... and... Sqrxz is not alone!

  \  // // // //  \ FEATURES
   \//_//_//_//____\__________________________________________________________

 \    // // // //\
  \  // // // //  \ KEYBOARD CONTROLS (where applicable)
   \//_//_//_//____\__________________________________________________________

 Default Keyboard controls:
 * UP    = CURSOR UP
 * DOWN  = CURSOR DOWN
 * LEFT  = CURSOR LEFT
 * RIGHT = CURSOR RIGHT
 * JUMP  = SPACE
 * PAUSE = TABULATOR

 Use the ingame menue to change keyboard, joystick or joypad behavior! The
 supported devices very much rely on the operating system and your hardware.

 Retrogamers:
 If you use a (USB) Joystick or just love playing with cursor keys only,
 please notice the option "Use Up To Jump".

 The "Scale2x" function used for antialias is an own recoded implementation by
 Yannick Erb and does not use the original GPL'ed code. You may want to check
 this page for more information on Scale2x: http://scale2x.sourceforge.net/

 Please kindly note "scale2x", "bilinear antialias" and "scanlines", once
 activated, will intense CPU usage and might lead to slowdowns and higher
 energy consumption, which therefore will decrease battery life on portable
 devices. Availability of these functions is OS depending.
