GAMEPLAY
Fight 10 different bosses for a highscore, and in order to win, you need to CHAWP! them up!

TIPS AND TRICKS
 - The Longer your CHAWP!, the less damage you do.
 - CHAWP!ing a line of the same color does double damage.
 - CHAWP!ing parent strings adds the children to the combo.
 - You have 2 seconds to CHAWP! another string before the combo resets.
 - Take your time. This is precision, not a race.

UPDATED TIPS AND TRICKS
- BUT, if you want to be on the scoreboards, you have to keep that Booster bar up!
- The Booster goes down automatically, but refills when you make a successful chawp.
- The Booster will multiply your chawp scores by how full it is and by the combo
- More, speedy, precise, chawps means MORE points.

Good news! There's a new update that shifts focus from patience to HARDCORE RISK TAKING ACTION!! Now points are given to those who are fast agile & precise. Both links have been updated, so play wherever you feel most comfortable!

The lack of instructions ingame left me confused for a bit, but it seems that the rules aren't very complicated so it wasn't hard to figure it out.

It all seems very difficult to me, I think I'd prefer if it was a bit easier / slower moving. Maybe just me. I only got to the fourth or so level on my better tries.

Well the instructions are shown on the right box while hovering "Begin Game," but it seems a lot of people are missing that so I suppose I'll have to add an in-game tutorial. I could add a 'difficulty' setting, I guess altering the overall speed of the bosses. Thanks for the input!
