And as usual...

Installation is very easy: just unpack WordMeUpXXL_Demo.lha archive where you
want. A directory called WordMeUpXXL_Demo will be created.  

This demo has no limitation concerning functionalities but contains only 8 of
the 64 levels of the full version. The 8 levels selected for the demo version
are not the first 8 levels of the full version. Full version has thus a smoother
difficulty progression.

Game can be played with keyboard, joystick (joypad), mouse or even fingers if
you have a touch screen. For narrow openings and paths, use the integrated
"Collide & Go" system
(http://glames.free.fr/products/wordmeupxxl_collidego.html) to help you
manoeuvre.

During game, you'll see some bill-boards that were given for free to a few
AmigaOs 4 related authors or companies. Some of them were kind enough to help us
with translations.

** WARNING **
We advise you to close all others applications before launching WordMeUp XXL.
The game was tested successfully on AmigaOne, MicroAone, Sam440ep & The Red One
F. Take care to "Limpid Clock" or "Compositing mode" (AmigaOS 4.1) that
sometimes make screen scrolling jerky during game. It's sometimes a matter of
priority: you can try to raise the priority of the game. It works also on A4000
and A1200 but please be aware that game is not as fast or smooth. You can try to
reduce Frames Per Second (FPS) by pressing [-] key on your numeric keyboard. 

Don't hesitate to contact us if needed.

Full version can be purchased on line at http://www.wordmeupxxl.com.
