How to Play

Hypraxis Shareware has 6 levels to it.  I know that doesn't seem like 
much, but it will be a while before you can conquer the 3rd level.

The basic rules:
Control your spaceship using the mouse.  Your ship is 
always at the center of the screen.  It turns to face the 
cursor at all times.  
Press the shift key to accelerate towards the mouse
 location.  At first use the shift key gingerly, until you get the 
hang of the ships movement.  Practice shooting asteroids
 while flying in circles around them.  Once you can handle a 
few asteroids you can move on to shooting the one enemy 
ship that stalks you on level 1.
Shooting Enemy (Gygon) ships and asteroids can produce 
Power-Ups.  Collect these strange glowing globs to improve 
your ship.

It is always a good idea to collect blue Power-Ups before 
facing large numbers of enemy ships.

Also, very important.
When your ship takes damage your guns and engines are 
affected.  Be very careful about hitting asteroids and 
enemy ships.   It doesn't take very long for your weapons 
systems to get degraded.

Blue Powerups:  Upgrade guns, allowing multiple shots 
or fast shot.  You have 8 levels of firepower to use.
Green Power-Ups: Increase the shilding of your starship.  
When  your shields run out, your ship game is over
Yellow Power-Ups:Increase engine thrust.  The better this 
value is, the faster you can move and dodge enemy missles.
Missle Power-Ups:10 missles.  You start each level with 
zero missles.   These can only be collected by destorying 
enemy ships.  When you have collected missles, you can 
fire them by clicking on an ememy ship.  Each click fires 
one missle. 

Notes:
You can shoot enemy missles, and your own.  
You cannot shoot enemy plasma blasts (glowing orange).
