                                 The Frogs Of War

                 You're a slave mining a far off corporate asteroid
                 when the revolt begins. You cast off your shackles 
                 and jump for it. It's frog eat frog as you hunt
                 down middle management and try to finish the job in
                 your rock hopper spewing amalgam, acid and ionic 
                 blasts when suddenly the message comes through:

                 "This is the HMIC. This outpost has been selected 
                 for employee takeover, I don't care what's been 
                 going on here but whoever takes control and is on 
                 top tomorrow will take the lion share of stock 
                 options, just have this operation back on line.
                 Oh by the way, there's only room for one in this
                 division, and the company isn't made out of rock 
                 hoppers either, over and out".

                 Well like I always says, any corporate ride is just
                 a crap shoot on it's best day and it's all temp work
                 no matter how big your golden parachute clause.
                 It's time to go to work, cry havoc and unleash 
                 The Frogs Of War.

                 ----------
                 BATTLE FROG OPERATION

                 Mouse gestures control your frog, place the cursor
                 on your frog to stop and gesture in the direction 
                 you want to go. A sweeping direction with an upswing 
                 gets you going and a circular motion repeats 
                 commands, experiment, you'll get the hang or hate it.
                 Left and right clicking controls weapon/tool selection 
                 and usage.

                 The transmission is a two speed box power level 
                 permitting, gesturing twice in a direction accelerates
                 through the gears or decelerates depending on the
                 direction gestured. Circling upwards double clutches
                 and will cause you to flip.

                 Gesturing in the lower corners works the hydraulics 
                 causing you to fall down.

                 High gear eats your power reserves but you can tank 
                 up at the red ports here and there. 

                 When your base minerals are separated into a vapor 
                 you can be re-assembled and a new frog re-generated 
                 by coming into contact with the lunar orb. 
                 It also rebuilds your current running frog and restores 
                 your shields. Making contact with the exact center 
                 can be very challenging, good luck.
