1.1 BEFORE YOU START

Welcome to Amazed! Before you start, please run confedit.exe to set up graphics and sound configuration for the game.

The game has been tested on Windows 10 but may work on earlier versions of Windows as well.

Use the arrow keys or WASD to navigate the menus. Use Return/Enter to select.

1.2 GAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS

Amazed is a single-player game. The player is represented by a yellow square which you control using your keyboard, either with the arrow keys or WASD. The task of each level is to get to the goal, represented by a black-white-checkered square. Some levels requires you to collect a number of points (white dots) before the goal is activated. You can see how many points that are to be collected and how many you've collected so far in the upper left of the screen. The goal will be shown as greyed out before all points are collected.

You'll encounter enemies on many levels, represented as squares of various colors. If you touch one of them, it's game over. Many levels also have a time limit.

Other game elements:
Teleporters (purple) - Transports you to another location in the level. 
Dots (green) - Temporarily increases your speed.
Keys and doors - Collect keys to unlock doors.
Hidden walls - Looks like regular walls but let's you pass through them.

The game features 10 levels. You can play these in any order but it's recommended to first play level 1 as this lets you familiarize yourself with the various game elements.

ESC - Back to menu
F5 - Toggle sound on/off
F7 - Volume Down
