4 - STORY-LINE

Long ago, there was a beautiful kingdom blessed with natural riches where all
creatures lived in peace with one another. This kingdom was called Shake, and
it was ruled by a noble leader called Shakii The Wolf. One day, a powerful villain
appeared in the form of Midnight Sword, a vicious Lion Warrior who was determined
to bring chaos and destruction to all of Shake. Shakii The Wolf retreated
to the Land of Giants with a few of his close followers in order to protect the
Jaka area of Shake. Midnight Sword grew stronger and stronger as he con-quered
more and more of Shake. A final showdown between Midnight Sword
and Shakii The Wolf was inevitable. In the interim, unknown to Shakii The Wolf,
Midnight Sword had cloned a servile copy of Shakii which wreaked havoc
across the land. Shakii The Wolfs followers grew confused as reports of a different
Shakii began to circulate across Shake. Had Shakii The Wolf really used
the Myth Sword to kill, breaking a long-standing vow not to? Can Shakii The
Wolf harness enough power to defeat Midnight Sword and once again bring
peace to the Land of Shake?

6 - ATTACK, BASIC FUNCTION KEYS AND SPECIAL TOOLS

Shakii has different methods of attacking, both before and after transformation.
Listed below are the various attack options Shakii has at his disposal.

Basic Attack

Basic attack includes in-the-air attack and on-the-ground attack. Use the
CTRL key to implement these options.

Long Range Attack

Use rolling attack. Though not as powerful a method as other attack options,
rolling attack can be implemented from far off. Press left or right arrow key
and attack (CTRL) key at same time, to implement this attack method.

Special Attack (before transformation)

In order for Shakii The Wolf to launch a special attack before transformation,
press the CTRL and ALT keys at the same time. This allows Shakii to be invinci-ble
for a limited amount of time.
However, while Shakii is invincible, he can only attack, and the other function
keys are disabled while using this mode. And remember...using special attack
greatly reduces Shakiis energy. Therefore if your energy is insufficient, spe-cial
attack cannot be used.

Special Attack (after transformation)

After Shakiis transformation, special attack includes scratching and fire
wind. You can scratch by pressing the CTRL key more than 5 times continuously
in a short period of time. The attack range is longer than basic attack,
yet the power level is still quite good. This is an excellent method to drive away
approaching enemies by showering them with more than 10 blows at a time.
Shakiis energy is not reduced.

Another special attack method to be used after transformation is fire wind.
Pressing both the CTRL and ALT key at once allows you to access this attack
option. This method has the longest effective range and is Shakiis most powerful
weapon after transformation.
