Trader-X

----------TRADER-X----------

This is version 1 of a frantic fast twitch trader themed platformer game switch from bullish to bearish and pick the right trades to score points.

-----HOW TO PLAY-----

Flip between bull and bear mode

You can turn on leveraged mode by hitting a 2x square this means all functions are doubled so double points & double damage

Turn off leverage mode by hitting the 1x squares 

In bull mode the background will be green (non leveraged) or teal (when leveraged) collect the long trades these are the green L squares 

In bear mode the background will be red (non leveraged) or yellow (when leveraged) collect the short trades these are red R squares

 If you pickup the wrong trade you will lose a life or 2 lives if leverage mode is on

Collect coins for points no matter the mode or leverage

Collect hearts to add lives 

Hitting the H square hedges your trade destroying all the L & S squares in the level it also gives you 1 point and adds some time to the clock 

-----CONTROLS-----

(Keyboard shown below also playable with controller)

Move Left: A or Left Arrow

Move Right: D or Right Arrow

Ghost through Platforms: Hold S or Down Arrow till you are through 

Flip between bull and bear mode with 'A' Button: Z or Space Bar (this will change the color of the background)

Jump/Double Jump with 'B': X or Enter 

-----NOTES-----

There are 2 different level designs and could be some secret areas in them. 

Finishing the clock with extra lives is going to boost your score.

Hint: If you get down to 2 or 3 lives it is probably a good idea to turn off leverage mode
