In order to play, you may use either the keyboard or an Xbox360 controller. BubbleBlow is designed to be a simple arcade game
implementing a basic physics engine and gameplay model. There are three modes of difficulty, which determine the number of
obstacles and balls placed on a level. Difficulty may be changed in the “Options” screen.

Gameplay Objectives:
1. Two types of balls drop from the top of the screen. Orange balls are “good” and yellow are “bad.”
2. Use the blowers to guide the orange balls into the portal in the top right hand corner of the level to increase your score.
3. Avoid blowing the yellow balls into the portal as you will lose points and life. However, if your score is less than 5, points
and a life will not be deducted.
4. Do not let the orange balls fall off the screen! You will lose a life each time.
5. Let the yellow balls drop to keep them from reducing your score.

That’s it. You’ll get the hang of it! Enjoy BubbleBlow.
