ROOMS OF DOOM is a side-scrolling arcade game.  As such, there 
are several actions you must master in order to get the most 
out of the game.

There are five basic actions you will need frequently, they are:
^1 Move Left  - Press the left arrow key
^1 Move Right - Press the right arrow key
^1 Jump       - Press the <control> key
^1 Jump Down  - Press both the down arrow and <control> keys
^1 Fire       - Press the <alt> key (cost: 1 shotgun shell)

"Fire" fires a blast from your shotgun in the direction you are
facing.  This will hurt most of your enemies.  Some of the "bad
guys" take several shots from your shotgun before they will die.

Your shotgun will automatically reload whenever you pause.  If
you are caught in a situation where you are "on the run" you
will not have time to pause and reload, so be careful.

If you use the numeric keypad you can also:
^1 Aim up and right   - Press the "9" key
^1 Aim up and left    - Press the "7" key
^1 Aim down and right - Press the "3" key
^1 Aim down and left  - Press the "1" key

In order to get started you will have to master the basic
jumping technique.  It is a good idea to play around with it
on the first level.
