<para
>Once a round is started, the players do not stop moving forward (unless the game is paused). All you have to do is avoid crashing by changing your players direction. Additionally you can try to hinder your opponent. For this it is possible to increase the velocity by pressing your accelerator key. </para>

<para
>A round starts when all human players press a direction key. The initial moving direction is then in this direction. </para>

<para
>To continue the game, select the menu item <guimenuitem
>Pause</guimenuitem

<para
