(Reporting while still in NEW.)

Hi!
There's no hint how to control the game.  It turns out you need to press
Space together with left/right arrow -- not something people are likely
to figure out on their own, as Space is not Shift, Ctrl or a similar
modifier key.

Those who had an Amiga 26 years ago already know this, but I for one had a
patriotic duty to cast aspersions on Amiga and extol the virtues of PC,
thus I did not get to play Pushover when I was young.  Likewise, kids whose
parents were not even born then also deserve to know how to play.


The controls are:
Left/Right: move
Up: enter door; climb ladder; walk into a gap between blocks
Down: climb ladder; walk out of blocks
Space: pick up a block; drop it
Space+Left/Right: push the block (after going Up)

While in a graphical game it'd be better to have such kind of help inside
the game itself, it'd require changing upstream code.  For now, what about
putting this information into the, currently content-free, man page?


Meow!
