## About This Game
Once upon a time…

In a galaxy not far from our own…

The Bits That Saved the Galaxy is a four player co-op platform shooter in the
same vein as games like Contra, but utilizing lo-fi graphics and visual
effects. You can also choose your own path through the game by selecting
different planets leading to unique stages, each with their own gameplay and
style. This game is a spiritual successor to one of my previous works, The
Bits That Saved the Universe. Revisit the universe of bits with a new and
improved art style, new engine and original soundtrack.

This is a complete overhaul of the original with all new planets and areas,
but still keeping the same four-player co-op fun. Travel to different planets
and engage in different environments, different play styles and unique
enemies!

I’d strongly recommend using a gamepad, perferrably an XBox type controller,
especially if you’re playing with multiple people. The game will natively
detect gamepads, but if it doesn’t work, you can use a controller to keyboard
mapping program like Joy2Key or AntiMicro.

If you have to use a keyboard, here are the controls:
PLAYER ONE:
Arrows – Move
X – Jump
C – Shoot

PLAYER TWO:
WASD – Move
N – Jump
M – Shoot

As always, good luck and have fun!
