Ben Tibbetts'
JIM-MAN
Dedicated to Jim Johnson (Merry Christmas!)

Premise
Jimmy, the hero of our story, was just playing on his drumset one day when he was suddenly and magically transported into a virtual world. He is now stuck in an arcade game for the rest of his days as a 10-pixel yellow blob floating around in an endless quest for the highest high score. Mr. Pac-Man wasn't very happy when he found out that he was being replaced by some character named Jim, so he drew Billy, a dangerous creature that can not only cause Jim to perish forever within the confines of a virtual world without purpose or meaning but also (gasp!) lose points.

How to Play
Operate Jim using the up, down, left and right arrows. Throw drumsticks using the Spacebar. Running into one of Billy's many clones will cause you to lose a life, while a piece of pizza will allow you to regain one life. Collecting balls will raise your score, while throwing drumsticks will lower it. Each level is cleared by both obtaining all the balls and destroying all of Billy's clones with flying drumsticks.

Other Rules and Patterns
There are many other rules and patterns within the world of Jim-Man that you will have to figure out as you go along. I'm just not going to tell you. So there.
