  1. Introducting & Release notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Hi and very welcome to Bomber Brothers world! The game is finally made
 as you can see, it is modified Bomberman-clone, to a little faster game
 play! It aint exactly the game i wanted it to be, i couldnt get the sounds
 to final stage, but i tried! If you waited for a strong story boarded game
 youre going to disappoined, theres not even a story! I know there are
 couple of bugs, i dont know how to fix those bugs it has, dont find the
 reason for em and iam a bit bored to play and play and play to find. 
 There are no bugs in the game far as i know, but on the main menu you may
 find some GRAPHICAL bugs, sorry!

 Known Bugs:
  * If you select quiqkly between FragMATCH and DeathMATCH you may see that
    both are choisen, but the last pressed is actually chosen, press again
    to that you chose if you like to see the right thing!
  * For some reason there are same kind of bug when you select maps,
    havent found any reason for this, it just some times shows that you
    have selected more than one level, this is impossible; youre going to
    play the map you have last pressed, to see correct you need press again
    that map button!
  * And theres one in game bug known, MedKits&Bomb Upgrades will disapper
    after you taken em ones, some will disappear if you take another
    MedKit or Bomb Upgrade! Actually this is not a bug, it makes gameplay
    more better, you cant collect hundreds of medkits&bombs!

  2. Keys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 IN GAME BUTTONS:

 Move Player 1(Blue)    = Cursor Keys
 Player1 Drop a Bomb    = Control (Ctrl)
 
 Move Player 2(Red)     = T,G,F,H
 Player2 Drop a Bomb    = Q

 Show FragBoard         = F1
 Hide FragBoard         = F2

 Back to Main Menu      = Escape (ESC) 
 Exits from the game    = ALT + X
 Takes snapshot         = Control (Ctrl) + Alt + P

 SPECIAL KEYS ON FRAGMATCH:

 Player 1 ReSpawn       = Enter
 Player 2 ReSpawn       = A


  3. Game Help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Frag Limit             = Only on the FragMATCH, the limit when one of 
                          players reach this point the game would end!
 Bomb Size              = Both players Bomb size, if bigger its more
                          deadlyer, better looking and slower! So if your
                          game is slow, try to decrease this and it may
                          run faster!
 Bomb Drop Time         = Can be 1 - 30, bigger value means that it drops
                          faster bombs. If your game is slow, try to
                          decrease this and it may run faster!
 Energy at start        = How much players have energy when they start
                          playing.
 Bomb ReSpawn           = Bomb Upgrades ReSpawn time, increase this and
                          bomb upgrades would appear slower!
 MedKit Respawn         = MedKits ReSpawn time, increase this and medkits
                          would appear slower!
 Explosion Quality      = Explosions quality, put HIGH if you want high
                          resolution explosions. Put value to low if your
                          game is runnig slowly, may increase Frame Rate!
 Map Double Draw        = Means that draws a blank map before drawing the
                          real one, doesnt decrease frame rate if ON.

 DeathMATCH             = One death accepted only!
 FragMATCH              = Players kill em each other to frag limit!

 Map 1 - Map 20         = Select map, you may modifie any of em with
                          BombEdit.

  4. Map Editor Help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ive gave you this map editor for to edit maps if you like, theres also
 two user maps! To me the map editor is easy to use, but when i gave my
 little brother test it he sayd its pretty hard to use! I were wordless,
 ive gave much time to it and he test it for five minutes and says that
 it is hard to use, damn! Well it is pretty advanced if you for example
 compare it to Tapan Kaikkis map editor, or almost any other map editor!
 
 Attention!
  * There are no mentage of keys F4 and F8 on the Keys Help in the Editor.
  * Remember ALWAYS to do a hardness map for your map; if you wont you are
    not ability move or something worse..!

 As you can gues, i made this my self, this is the first release! I just

             menu.
