DEFAULT CONTROLS

ARROW KEYS: maneuver
Z: fire
X: SIREN mode

the controls may be changed from the options menu. there's no native joypad support.
JoyToKey and Xpadder are both recommended applications for this purpose.

JoyToKey: http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm
Xpadder: http://xpadder.com/index2.php

please note that "FULL SCREEN" mode is not guaranteed to work on all displays, as
it runs the game at a low resolution that not all modern displays may support.

GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

playing as HS001, you are equipped with two weapons. your main weapon is a spread-
shot of feathers. your sub weapon is the SIREN mode. while holding X (or whatever is
assigned to the function), the "HARPY" bar on the HUD will change to "SIREN". in
this mode, your movement is slowed and you fire an extremely powerful laser. while
firing, the "SIREN" bar will deplete. when it reaches zero, you cannot continue to
use the laser. to recharge, you must return from SIREN mode to HARPY mode by releasing
the key associated with it. once the bar has charged (even slightly), you can enter
SIREN mode again and use the laser. SIREN mode also allows you to see your hitbox
while moving, allowing for tight maneuvering.

when enemies are destroyed, they drop gems. the closer you are to an enemy while dest-
roying them, the higher value gems they will drop. each gem color is associated with
a counter in the upper right of the HUD, and will dictate how many points you receive
for every shot landed on an enemy. GREEN gems are worth thousands, BLUE are hundreds,
PINK are tens, and RED are ones. as an example, if you have 7 GREEN, 3 BLUE, 6 PINK,
and 2 RED gems, you will receive 7362 points for each shot landed. if you drop a gem
of any color, its respective counter will return to ZERO.

BOSS scoring is handled differently. for each boss encounter, you will see a faint
timer in the background. every landed hit will give you the current value of the
counter, so it is in your best interest to destroy a boss as quickly as possible.

there are hidden bonuses in each level, and the third (5th, actually, as stages 3 and
4 were not complete) has enemy mechanics which are fairly different from the rest
of the game and may be jarring at first. these were going to be eased into, but the
project was not completed.

to access the true final boss, you must complete the game without using any continues.
