HOW TO PLAY
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move 'FartBag'.
The UP arrow causes FartBag to emit gas projecting him upward.
The LEFT & RIGHT arrow keys turn him as he emits gas to that he can float left or right.
Your objective is to land FartBag softly on one of the safe landing pads in a short time, but be careful. All other solid objects, such as rock, will cause him to rupture and explode.
Some landing pads are worth more points, based on difficulty.
Also, be aware that FartBag is filled with a limited amount of Gas. Try to make it last.
If you land quickly enough, you may earn bonus points

BACKGROUND
There is nothing wrong with the gravity, FartBag floats and drifts because he is only slightly heavier than air. Because he is full of hot gasses, and because of his adept use of an umbrella to slow his fall, FartBag descends quite slowly.
There is still danger! FartBag is a very delicate creature. Afterall, he is very much like a balloon. Hard and abrasive rocks can cause him to pop!
The umbrella is okay! Don't worry about hitting rocks and surfaces with the umbrella. It isnt' as delicate as FartBag.

HINTS AND TIPS
Remember that FargBag is a delicate life form, and he cannot be landed on jaded rock or hard surfaces. He must be set down easily on a soft surface.
Landing on different pads are worth different point values. Generally, the farther away a pad is, or the more difficult it is to get FartBag to the pad, the more points you will get by landing him there. But be aware, the points you gain may not be worth it to compensate for all the gas and time you wasted getting there. It all depends on your skill level.
It is possible to land FartBag while drifting slightly sideways, as long as he is not descending too quickly. But drifting can make landing more difficult, because if you do not touch down on the pad soon enough, FartBag might just drift right over the top of the pad and into some dangerous rocks. But when you get good, some horizontal drift is to be expected, because it can can cost you fart gasses and add time to your level by maneuvering to stop sideways drift .
In order to excel at this game, you need to perfect controlling FartBag so that you land him as quickly as possible while expending as little of FartBag's magic fart gas as possible. This is easier said than done, and is the reason why getting a very high score can be very addicting. Controling FartBag down to soft landings efficiently but quickly is perhaps more art than science, and after a bit of practice, you will not need to watch the vertical velocity gauge in the control panel at the bottom of your screen.
