## The game

You are trapped in a maze of high voltage power fences and posts. There are also 
killer robots trying to destroy you.
 
Your only hope is to lure the robots into a fence or each other to destroy them.
         
If things get hopeless, you can do a mega jump, but you could end up anywhere,
including on top of a power fence or a robot!

## Keys

Use the numpad to move, even diagonally.
Use ``J`` to jump and ``0`` to pass a round.

    7   8   9   J - Jump
