A number of games for the iDevices start out with a training level in which
you learn what to listen for and how to turn and walk or run or jump in
order to get to the desired objects.
I like how the levels that come with Lone Wolf are designed. In level 1,
you begin using the tools of the game to detect, aim, and destroy targets.
In level 2, they start shooting back, and you first encounter mines and how
to deal with them. First, read and learn the user's manual to know the
keystrokes you are going to use. Each progressive level gets more difficult
and you encounter new challenges and, hopefully, you use the skills acquired
in previous levels. You build your skills as you progress through the 17
levels.

Be positive! When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're finished,
you! really! are! finished!

Hi Bryan,
Perhaps so. Since he or she is going to get asked how to play it
anyway he or she might as well just not supply a manual and tell the
end users since nobody reads them from now on no manuals or other
documentation will be supplied.
In all seriousness this is what mainstream companies and indie
developers are doing. Instead of manuals they now supply in game help
tips and instructions in game so people can learn as they go. They
often have a training level which tells the gamer which keys do what,
talk through them through basic mechanics, which takes ample time to
create but apparently is more useful than manuals.
Cheers!
