WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

This and the other Sqrxz sequels were more requests from the EAB forum.
Since they are coded by the same developer (phx), it was straightforward to
patch them using my previous work. I took the time to put in more trainers
since this series is hard as nails!

To keep things simple, only the disk/ADF version of the game is supported!
This game also didn't load and save highscores, so I've added that.

Although the game supports 2nd button jumping, it still allows 'up' to jump
at the same time, which I find problematic on some pads. Therefore I've
added support to disable 'up' if you want.

Enjoy! :-)
