Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Move the blue "paddle" around, and avoid contact with everything.

DO NOT TRY TO CATCH THE BALLS!  THEY ARE *DEADLY!*

Push the Stalactites back up to the ceiling simply by going
underneath them.

At the end of each wave, you will have a short period of time when
there is a pink shield behind your blue paddle.  Use this shield
to try and pick up some of the wandering balls.

AGAIN, DO NOT LET THE BALLS TOUCH YOUR PADDLE!


Scoring:
~~~~~~~~
Stalactites awards you points for how much "work" you do pushing
up the Stalactites that are falling from the ceiling.  The more
work you do, the more points you get.  You also get unspecified
bonus points for "catching" the balls near the end of each wave,
using the PINK SHIELD ONLY!
