They will widen/narrow the screen, respectively. Otherwise, N/A. Also note that A+B+Select+Start is a soft reset combination. ------------------ Basics of the Game ------------------ In all honestly, I wish I could say more, first off. This game is sort of like your typical top-down platformer. But the levels have too much randomization in them to actually make a decent walkthrough, even right down to the levels' own layouts. But the idea is to get as far as possible without dying. Be patient with me, for I lack a manual for this game, so some things may have different names or functions than I assume. Well, basically, you'll want to get as far as you can without dying. You see that number in the lower-left corner? That is your timer and HP counter, both in one. You will start at 2,000, going down one unit per second, resulting in about 33 minutes and 20 seconds of play time if you don't heal or take damage. To take damage, you'll pretty much step on any grainy flashing floor, run into an enemy, or get hit by an enemy. This can take your HP/timer down by hundreds of units. Do not let yourself get hurt by enemies; actually attack them. To heal, you'll need to find chunks of meat or other types of food. If your HP/timer goes to zero, you lose. There are various pickups throughout the levels aside from the aforementioned food. There are keys that open up those segmented green-and-black doors when you run into them. There are also smoky jars or something that seems to only serve to raise your score below your timer/HP. Also are various types of special tiles. Aside from the previously mentioned grainy damaging floor, you'll also find other flashing tiles that match the terrain and will open up walls. You'll also find green, sparkly teleporters. Most important of all is the black EXIT square. Normally, you'll go to the next level, but there are some that let you skip levels. For example, if you see "EXIT TO 11", you'll be skipping some levels to reach Level 11. There's not much else to say. I would provide a walkthrough, but there's too much randomness. One last thing is that, if you wait around long enough, locked doors WILL open up. Just so you know. Good luck.
