+# JGoldRunner
+A spin-off of LodeRunner built with JMonkeyEngine3.
+
+# Download
+1. Download the zip file for your system from the releases. Windows is currently not supported.
+2. Extract the zip file.
+3. Run the launcher in the resulting folder.
+
+# Game Instructions
+* Move with Arrow Keys.
+* Dig brick down + left/right with A and D (which creates a hole).
+* Boost by pressing SPACE.
+* Collect all the gold and then make it to the top of the level.
+* Your energy bar fills when you collect a gold.
+* Do not get caught by the enemies, or the level will restart.
+* Restart the current level at any time with R.
+* Quit the current level at any time with BACKSPACE.
+* Advance to the next level at any time with END.
+
+# Additional Tips
+* You can fall through holes you dig, but enemies will get stuck inside. This is how you avoid enemies.
+* You can walk on **top** of enemies without getting caught. The only exception to this rule are ladders, where the enemies climb up into you.
+* Enemies can pick up gold, too. You can force them to drop their gold by putting them in a hole.
+* After a bit, an enemy may try to climb out of a hole he fell in. You can stand on top of him to stop this.
+
+# Settings
+* Enable/disable boosting.
+* Enable/disable in-game music.
+* Speedrun Display: the clock will display total time for the entire package, instead of time for the current level.
+* ExpertMode: enemies not stopped by holes. You gotta be on your toes if you enable this!
+* SluggishMode (will be removed): Makes you slower than the enemies.
+
+# Platform Support
+This game is supported primarily on Linux.
+MacOS has not been tested, but is expected to work.
+Windows is **not** supported yet.
+
+# Save Data
+Save data will be stored in ".goldrunnerdata" in the user's home folder.<br>
+Exported level packages will be stored under ".goldrunnerdata/exports".
