Game Instructions

The Menu:

You can use the arrow keys or a joystick to navigate the menu.
The following menu items are available:

* Player Setup:
Choose the number of players (2 - 5) and how each is controlled (computer, keyboard, joystick)

* Game Options:
Set the winning score, switch the collectable gems on and off and choose the AI Level (This affects how clever the computer players act).

* Graphics and Sound
Change the sound options and screen mode. The game can be played fullscreen or in a window. If the game runs too slowly for you, try a lower screen resolution. FLAW supports resolutions from 320x240 to 1280x1024. It should run fine with the standard settings on most hardware though.

* Start the Game

* Exit

Playing the game:

Joystick/Gamepad:
Just move your wizard around and use the fire button to hit.


Arrow Keys:
Use the arrow keys to move around. To hit, use the right CTRL or SHIFT key.




WASD Keys:

If you want to leave the game, just press the ESC key, and you will get back to the main menu. The P key pauses the game.
After every round, a scoreboard appears and the next round is only a keypress away. As soon as one player reaches the winning score, the game is over and you are brought back to the main menu.

Gems:

From time to time magic gems will appear on the screen. If you collect them, you will gain one of the following special abilities:

* Speed: You can move faster.

* Shield: Complete(?) safety for a few seconds.

* Ghost Wizard: As a ghost you can't get hit. You can even walk through your opponents.

* Fire Wizard: As a fire wizard you can directly kill your opponents with a single hit.
