Description
===========

Arrow Antics is a fun and addictive puzzle
game where you guide explorers to the exits
and avoid mummies and various obstacles to
solve the levels.



How To Play
===========

You control the explorers by placing arrows on the tomb to get them to
turn the direction you want. You can left-click on an arrow in the pile
on the right to select it and then place it anywhere in the tomb that
has an empty tile.  If you want to remove the arrow from the tomb you
can right-click on it and it will be added back to the pile on the
right.  When a character hits a wall he will try to turn clockwise first,
if that fails he will turn counter-clockwise.

On every tomb you may encounter obstacles that block the explorer's path
to the exits.  These include walls, holes, collapsing floors, fire, ice,
bombs, turntables, and jewels.  Some of these objects can be used to your
advantage; others must be avoided.

Tombs can be cleared in any order, but they do get progressively more
challenging.  Already completed tombs will be skipped so you will
automatically move onto the next new tomb.  To go back and play a tomb
that have already been completed, select the tomb from the "Choose Tomb"
selection screen.

In puzzle mode you place the arrows then press Go to see if your solution
solves the puzzle.  In action mode you press Go first, then place the
arrows while the characters are moving around.
