                          Styx version 3.6+
                           by Tom Cooper



This is a version of a very old game you may have come across under other names. All you have to do is fill 75% of the screen by drawing boxes over it, when a box is complete it is filled. Simple huh? Oh yes, and you've also got to avoid all the doofers that are flying about the place.



Keys...

Z           : Left
X           : Right
>           : Down
:           : Up
RETURN      : Begin drawing (to be used with a direction)
Escape      : Lose life/quit to menu/quit to desktop
