INTRODUCTION
Sensitive is a remake of a fun little puzzle game on the C64. The original was made by Oliver Kirwa. There are 60 levels in this game, some of them almost too easy, others might make you want to never play the game again. That feeling will probably not last so long, as Sensitive is highly addictive.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X
5MB free hard disk space
SDL 1.2.7 installed in /usr/local/lib (see TROUBLESHOOTING)


INSTALLATION
Drag the Sensitive folder to your hard disk.


PLAYING THE GAME
Opening the program will take you to the title screen. You can press FIRE (see CONTROLS) to start a game, or O to go to the options menu (see OPTIONS). When you start a game, the level number and password will be printed on the screen. This password enables you to start playing the level you have reached, so you don't have to start all over when you run out of lives (see OPTIONS). Your score, however, will reset.

The object of Sensitive is to remove all non-solid blocks from the map before you can use the exit. A non-solid block is a block that will dissolve under you if you stand on it too long. Some blocks you can touch twice before they dissolve. These blocks are the animated ones.

The blocks that have a "T" on them are teleports (graphics may vary between different sets). Press FIRE while standing on a teleport, and you will be taken to another teleport on the screen.

You will also encounter blocks that you can only enter horizontally or vertically. However, once you enter such a block, you will not need to worry about falling, as it is solid ground.

While playing the game, you can press ESC to return to the title screen.


OPTIONS
Use UP and DOWN to navigate between menu items. A description of the items follows:

music press LEFT to turn on the music, RIGHT to turn it off
graphics set press LEFT or RIGHT to select the set you wish to use
password to enter a password so you can start at a level other than level 1, press FIRE
done press FIRE to save options and return to the title screen

To reset the password to level 1, simply enter a bogus password. Passwords won't be saved. They're reset every time you start the program.


CONTROLS
Use the keys below to control the character.

FIRE [space]
UP [arrow up]
RIGHT [arrow right]
DOWN [arrow down]
LEFT [arrow left]


NOTES
If you have created (or want to create) your own graphics set for Sensitive, write an e-mail to TDB Soft and it might get included in an updated release, depending on the quality of your graphics. Naturally, your name will be added to the credits.


CONTACT
You can contact TDB Soft at tdbsoft@home.nl for all your questions, bug reports and/or suggestions.


TROUBLESHOOTING
Sensitive requires the SDL 1.2.7 run-time libraries to be installed on your computer (in /usr/local/lib). If the game doesn't start when you open it, chances are these libraries are not installed. You can possibly fix this by installing the included package "sensitive_libs.pkg".
