Controls:

MENUS:
Use ENTER and the arrow keys to navigate the menus.
ENTER will skip to the next screen.

GAMEPLAY:
Use the arrow keys to move the character, up jumps and CTRL shoots.
Enter will pause and bring up the ingame menu.


The Rules:

Survival:
-You are running for your life from evil vampires and western villans. You must get to the end of each level without dying.

Make it a Classic:
-The game is displayed in 320x200 resolution and is limited to 16 colours displayed at any given time.
-The controls are very limited, simply use the arrow keys, CTRL and ENTER.  The arrow keys a are like the D-pad on an NES controller, ENTER is like the start button and CTRL is like the A button.

Randomness:
-The 3 levels of scrolling hills in the background are randomly generated at the start of each level.

Dichotomy:
-The story is based on vampires chasing a vampire hunter. I would say that vampire and vampire hunters are definatly opposites.  Also in the broader sense it's about the fight between good and evil and someone's attempt to not die when others want him to die.

World Map:
-Before each level a map is displayed showing the main character's progress as he runs from the vampires.



Compiling it:
It was written with Allegro 4.1 and no extra addons or libraries.
I have made no makefile, but it should be easy to download without it.
