The object of the game is to change all the qubes to the type shown

A Blue or Green Flip Back Guy may hop down the screen, they will change all qubes
back to the original. Jump on them to get rid of them.
Avoid the RED UCKY and the YELLO FELLO, they are indestructable.
To clear the screen of most enemies jump on the spinner to escape to where
you started.

There are eight levels {one if not registered}
and four rounds in a level.
On some boards you may have to jump on the qubes more than once,
on others they may return if jumped on again!
Watch the new level screen to see what happens.

*** Important Notes ***
The Construction Set only works with a mouse!
If the Super Qube Hopper is NOT registered you will not be able to SAVE
the boards!
You can NOT delete Qubey, Ucky, or Yello Fello.
If you delete a ball start, then all remaining on the screen will be
renumbered.
You can not place a ball start on the qube directly to the LEFT of where
Qubey Starts. The Program knows this and will not allow it.
You can "Color" with the cube, but all other items must be re-picked up to
put another down.
Use LEVEL & ROUND to change the level and round you are editing.
When testing levels you made, if the board is not yet made, SQH will return
you to the title screen.
If you do anything illegal such as start UCKY on no block, it is not known
what Super Qube Hopper will do, so don't do it.
CLICK on EXIT or press ESC to leave the Construction Set.
The Boards are stored in a file called SQH.SQH in a directory called by
the name you choose. For example if you make LEVELS it will be stored
in C:\STARLINE\SQH\SCREENS\LEVELS\SQH.SQH If the files BK1.PCX - BK8.PCX
are also in the directory, this will be used as the background screens.
If you make screens and name them to match and they are in the PCX format
they will be used as the background screens.
If not it will get them from C:\STARLINE\SQH\SCREENS\SQH
