------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Push [F1] on title screen to start!
Use Control Port 2.
Up Up and Away is a horizontal scrolling game where you have to fly a hot air
balloon from base to base avoiding obstacles such as clouds, trees, kites,
birds and people throwing rocks. You have a limited supply of sandbags and
fuel and these decrease the higher the difficulty level is (0-5). Moving the
balloon upwards consumes fuel so careful control needs to be observed.
Sandbags can be used to hit people or hit icons with the letter P to improve
your score. Refuelling stations to land on are also along your route. The
keyboard or a joystick is used to control the balloon.
