Physics of BabeAnoid:
* Hitting the ball with a moving bat will increase the ball's speed.
(The ball will jump up and throw a shadow)
* The ball to bat bounce doesn't work like classical Arkanoid/Breakout
games, the physics are 'real' and behave like it would in real life.
(Ok, so the round corners of the bat has no effect...but who cares...)

MOUSE:
LMB - Launch ball / fire lazer
RMB - Fire cannon

Balls and what they do:
-Plasma- Moves through blocks without rebounding (except multi-hit)
-Shield- Protects from damage, Mines and Bad bonuses
-Fly- Flies over blocks, kills Invader (Space-key drops)
-Rubber- Bounces of blocks without causing damage
-Spike- Destroys all blocks in one hit (Including Bonuses)
Kills Falling-block and Enemy-bat

Requirements:
The game uses 32 colors (ECS) and needs at least an Amiga with 68020 and 2MB Fast RAM. If the settings in the preferences are reduced should the game also run with 1MB Chip RAM
This game is aimed at +030, Fast-mem Amigas but could theoretically be run
on a plain 1200. There are a lot options (opts/map-screen) to reduce
effects and improve speed. Music can be turned of and there is a reduced
sample set available for 1MB chip systems
