		<para>
			&bomber; is a single player arcade game. The player is
			invading various cities in a plane that is decreasing in
			height.
		</para>
		<para>
			The goal of the game is to destroy all the buildings and
			advance to the next level. Each level gets a harder by
			increasing the speed of the plane and the height of the
			buildings.

		<para>
			The player is flying a plane in a city. The plane flies from
			left to right. Every time it disappears off the side of the
			play area, it reappears on the left side again, but lower
			than it was before.
		</para>
		<para>
			The player has to destroy all the buildings to clear the
			level. If the plane crashes into a building, then the player loses a life
			and the plane is moved to the top left of the play area
			again.
		</para>
		<para>
			Buildings are destroyed by dropping bombs on them. This can
			be done by clicking the &LMB; or pressing the &Space;
			key. The bomb will fall from the plane and hit anything
			directly below it.
		</para>
		<para>
			After clearing a level, the player advances to the next
			level. Each level gets slightly harder than the previous
			level as the buildings get taller and the plane gets faster.
