Version 1.2HDD


GULLIVER
--------
You take over the role of Gulliver - a cheeky seagull 
with a special way of eliminating his enemies. 
Gulliver is a hungry bird, and enemies can provide food. 
 is not in a particularly good shape, and often needs to 
rest in a safe place in order to regain stamina. 
He sure could use some help fighting those enemy birds. 
How high can you fly on the high score list? 

'Gulliver' is not meant to offer deep, hour-long 
entertainment. It's a quick little action game you can 
put on when you have a bit of spare time


FEATURES:
---------
Simple shooter/platformer with 9 levels
Beautiful pixel art and animation
High quality sound and 4 original soundtracks
All assets crafted by the author without use of AI

The game can be booted from floppy or installed to HDD. 
It's made for the 68000 CPU.
Only slightly better FPS on fast Amigas. 


MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
---------------------
1 MB chip RAM mandatory
512K other RAM (or more chip RAM)
Standard 1-button controller


RECOMMENDED:
------------
FAST RAM (not trapdoor). Improves FPS in certain places
Hard drive for reduced loading times
A real joystick. Easier to control than with gamepad
Writable media for saving high scores


HDD INSTALLATION:
-----------------
Copy the folder from the extracted archive  to any location. 
From Workbench, 900K chip + 512K other RAM must be free. 
If the requirements are not met, the game will not start 
or may crash unexpectedly.


WINUAE TIPS:
------------
Set both CHIP and FAST RAM to 1 MB or more. Avoid 'slow RAM'. 

The game can be difficult to control with keyboard or gamepad.
Joystick recommended.

You might want to enable 'Subpixel display emulation' in the 
'Chipset' section. This will hide the 1 pixel copper to the left. 
This setting requires a bit more CPU power.


GAMEPLAY:
---------
Locate and shoot the enemy birds, and pick up the food from 
the ground. When you've attained 10 pieces of food, 
you can exit at the right end of the map, or stay on the level 
for 30 more seconds. Within these 30 seconds, you can improve 
your score by shooting as many birds as possible. 
When the timer expires, you'll advance to the next level.

When your score is high enough, you'll earn extra lives (max 5). 
Your stamina decreases slowly when moving in the air, 
except when floating downwards. Stamina regains when you're 
grounded. When your stamina gets low, you'll hear an alarm, 
and you'll have to find a safe spot to regain your stamina. 
If you're completely out of stamina, you'll fall from the air and  
get hurt by enemies on the ground - or die, if you fall too deep. 

If the health bar is less than max, a yellow bird may appear 
now and then. Shoot it, and you'll get more energy. 

Pressing F9 will quit the game. 


ISSUES
------
If you're experiencing graphics corruption or crashes when 
running the game from a real floppy, it's most likely because of a 
corrupted floppy disk.

The game is thoroughly tested, and should work on any Amiga meeting 
the requirements. However, it cannot be guaranteed to work on any 
configuration, and minor flaws cannot be ruled out. 
If your configuration meets the stated requirements, and the game 
still does not work as expected, please contact me at
