Two Bizlings crash-landed on Planet     Simian. To leave, each Bizling must     repaint the shield of its ship.         Each Bizling is controlled by five      buttons on the keyboard: 4 direction    buttons and one PLUNGER button.         To move Lefty Bizling, use A,D,W and X.                                         To move Righty Bizling, use the arrows. The plunger buttons on the keyboard     (S for Lefty, 5 for Righty) are your    all-purpose action buttons.             If two Bizlings collide while running   around, the Bizlings will slow down for a while...until they recover.           Here are the Proto-Ruf Ships. A machine on board each ship can produce syntheticbananas called synannas.                The ships crash-landed on Planet Simian because there was no protective paint   on their shields.                       Bizlings travel in these ships in searchof good places to do business.                                                  The Bizlings were passing by Planet     Simian when a zinger storm knocked the  paint off their shields.                You can use your ship to make synannas  and sell them. Then you can use the     money to buy paint for your shield.     The Bizling is standing beside your     ship's shield. To paint, move your      Bizling's antennae across the shield.   The paint protects the ship from zingersthat zip through the atmosphere above   Planet Simian.                          If a zinger finds a hole in your paint  shield, it can make more holes and forceyour ship back to the planet`s surface. Sometimes zinger storms hit the surface of the planet. These storms can also    damage your paint shield.               You don`t need to cover every spot with paint. When you think enough of your    shield is covered, launch your ship.    Go to the paint van to buy paint. The   price is on the side of the van. Hit theplunger to make a bid on the paint.     Hyam Mighty, a scientist, makes the     paint. He will play a little tune when  he has some paint to sell.              Hyam Mighty doesn`t always have paint   for sale. He can only make a little at atime.                                   The starting price of paint varies.     Sometimes Hyam Mighty can make paint    cheaply. Then his price will be lower.  Paint is very valuable. Don`t waste it. Painting your shield is the key to      getting off Planet Simian.              The Bizlings can bid against each other for paint. The can of paint moves to thehighest bidder's plunger.               Each time you hit your plunger on the   van, the price of paint will go up and  the bucket will move toward you.        If the paint can reaches your plunger,  it will disappear, and the paint will bestored in your Bizling's antennae.      When Bizlings bid against each other forpaint, the price can go very high. You  may need lots of money to buy paint.    Remember, you cannot bid more money thanyou have, and you will also need money  to do other things.                     Raw materials to make synannas, called  rufs, are found in rufhouses. To enter arufhouse, push the plunger above it.    There are three qualities of rufs--high,medium, and low. Higher quality rufs    will make better synannas.              The outer rufhouses sell the best rufs. The middle ones sell medium quality, andthe other two sell low quality.         The good rufs are expensive, but they   make better synannas. Simians will pay  more for high quality synannas.         Low quality rufs make low quality       synannas, but the price is hard to beat.Simians also like a bargain.            As you wait inside a rufhouse, the priceMAY go down. To buy rufs, hit your      plunger. Hit your UP button to leave.   Ruffians mine the rufs and sell them.   The Ruffians put the price of a ruf on  the outside of each rufhouse.           When you are in a rufhouse, the Ruffianswill often lower the price of the rufs  to encourage you to buy.                The Ruffians may decide not to sell.    Then the price drops to 0, and that     rufhouse closes for the week.           Don't be in too much of a hurry to buy, but don't wait too long either. If one  place won't sell to you, try another.   When you buy rufs, they spray across thefield. To pick up the rufs, land on themand hit your plunger.                   The Ruffians sell 5 rufs at a time.  As you pick up rufs, the Ruffians will sellmore to you.                            You can buy from the same rufhouse as   often as you wish. But no others will   sell to you for the rest of the week.   The Ruffians will only let you into     their rufhouse if you have enough money to buy at least one ruf.                If the other Bizling gets into a        rufhouse first, then your Bizling won`t be able to go in.                       You can only pick up the rufs you have  purchased. Those rufs will then appear  in the Ruf Storage Box on your ship.    If you find inexpensive rufs, you may   want to buy a lot of them to fill up    your Ruf Storage Box.                   On the other hand, you may want to save your money to buy paint. There are many options to consider.                    High quality rufs look different from   low quality rufs, and the Simians can   see the difference as they swing by.    Mixing different kinds of rufs in your  storage area can be risky. You may find that mixing also has advantages.        To start producing synannas, hit the    plunger under the Ruf Storage Box. Hit  it again to turn off the machine.       Your machine will turn on only when you have rufs in your Ruf Storage Box.                                              Your machine will stop at the end of    each week or when you run out of rufs.                                          If you want to keep making synannas, youmust restart your machine at the        beginning of each week.                 When you first buy rufs, you may want tomake synannas right away.                                                       When the machine is on, synannas will   appear in the supply box. To advertise  your synannas, hit the plunger below it.When you advertise, your price appears  and a picture of a delicious synanna    flashes. A passing Simian can see them. Advertising may persuade a passing      Simian that your synannas are a good    buy.                                    You don`t always need to advertise. But advertising may attract business when   the Simians are reluctant to buy.       There is no need to advertise when you  have nothing to sell. It costs 1 dollar every time you hit that PLUNGER.        If a Simian likes the price and quality,the Simian will buy a synanna from you  as it swings by.                        Simians consider both the quality and   price of a synanna when deciding        whether or not to buy.                  Each period of buying, selling, and     painting is a week long. Watch the moon to see how much of the week is left.    The ending of a week can interrupt your Bizling`s work, such as buying paint or picking up rufs.                        During a week's activity, you can pause the action by hitting the "P" key.                                              The What If Machine is too big to show  in the Tutorial. You will use it to     plan your strategy.                     The What If Machine shows what you did  during the week just ended. You can thenchange the numbers to see what happens. You can raise and lower the numbers to  see what happens to your profit. You canpredict how you'll do next week.        If the profit you predict is close to   your real profit the following week, youmay win a cash award.                   To operate the What If Machine, use the same buttons you normally use. When you are finished, hit your plunger.         After you leave the What If Machine, youwill have a few seconds to set your     final price for the coming week.        When the timer hits 0, the price showingwill be your price for the coming week. Remember your prediction and act wisely.When a Simian swings by, it looks at    the synannas offered by both Bizlings.                                          You must consider what the other Bizlingis doing when deciding what to do,      especially when setting your price.     Don`t forget that your main goal is to  make a successful launch. So get ready  to Run for the Money on Planet Simian.                                                  
