SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

gerous craters there. Fortunately your car can jump over them!
OPTIONS
The program understands the following command line options.
-h, --help
shows a short usage message.

ger".

skips the title screen.
-s, --show-scores
shows the current highscore list and exits.
-V, --version
prints the program's version to standard output and exits.
KEYS
The moon-buggy is controlled by a couple of keys, which are described near the bottom of the screen. Most important are the following
keys.
SPC, j makes your car jump. The length of a jump is fixed and you can only start a new jump, while the wheels have contact to the ground.
a, l fires the mining laser. The laser is used to remove stones, which may block your way.
q quits the game prematurely. But you still keep your score and may enter the highscore list.
