NAME

       asylum - a surreal platform shooting game

SYNOPSIS

       asylum

DESCRIPTION

       Young  Sigmund  has  a few problems.  To help him resolve his mental instability, you must
       enter the surreal world of his inner mind and shut down the malfunctioning brain cells.

HOW TO PLAY

       The game revolves around shooting anything which moves, collecting anything which  doesn't
       move,  and,  most  importantly,  finding  your  way to each of the eight pulsating neurons
       scattered throughout the immense map.  Use Z, X, ; and .  to move and Enter  to  fire,  or
       remap the keys to something you like better.

       The  one  game feature which does merit explicit instruction is teleporting.  In the first
       level ("Ego") the teleporters look like candelabra.  To use a  teleporter,  stand  in  its
       centre and press "down" (that's .  with the default key settings).
