===The player's car===
===The Beginning/Hairstyle===
The player's car is equipped with a front-mounted [[machine gun]], which is their main weapon for use against enemy cars. It has unlimited ammunition, but they should be careful not to hit any civilian vehicles when firing. Their car is also capable of being upgraded with a number of add-on weapons (see below). Additional weapons that are fitted will be displayed as a glowing [[icon]] at the bottom left of their screen.
When you first click Play you will be shown a picture of GranFow City, also stating the year (2010). That just shows what Julie's city looks like, but skip that. Next a comic strip (you'll find out later). After that, you will see the Hairstyle section, the first one you play in. (You'll be shown the introduction).


In the bottom right of the screen is a [[speedometer]] that displays how fast the car is currently moving. Immediately above this is a health display (a red heart icon). As the car sustains damage, its health will slowly deplete. When it runs out, the car explodes and the player loses a life. Health recharges very slowly over time as they drive along. A small health boost is also given for docking with any weapons van, and a larger boost for docking with the yellow and black repair van. These are not very common, but not as rare as the life van.
The introduction talks about how to play the game, but you can find a lot of help in the help file that was included with your game. Next is Food, where you serve customers any food! But there are only chocolate bars, and there is no animation in the customers. Basically, this is a short level, but is easy to play. The map (shown after you complete a level), shows hills with a beach at the top-right of the screen. At the top-left, there is Granfow City, and right in front of it are the apartments, and  


Players should drive with care to avoid damaging their car. They should stay on the road at all times; straying onto the grass will cause severe damage to their (or any other) vehicle. This can be a useful way of dispatching enemy cars; however, ramming them off the edge of the road can cause extreme damage to their car if they are not careful.


===Enemies===
===Enemies/Food/Adventure/Maze===
Players should beware of several types of enemy vehicles that will try to destroy them:
Players should beware of several types of enemy vehicles that will try to destroy them:


; Crasher : Crasher is the first type of car you will encounter. These cars are relatively harmless (only dangerous in mass numbers) and attack you by ramming you from the side or from behind. They will try to push you off the side of the road. They are a purple in colour.
; Alien : Alien is the first type of enemy you will encounter. (Only in Adventure). These monsters are really harmful and attack you by touching you from any direction. They will try to steal your gems  of from you. They are a green in colour.


; Blade : Blade is a much nastier enemy. These cars have retractable knives fitted to their wheels. If you are rammed from the side by a Blade vehicle when the knives are fully extended, your tires will burst causing you to spin off the road, out of control. Players should be very careful of these orange cars.
; Mummy : Mummy is a much nastier enemy. (in Maze). These things have retractable blinkers fitted to their eyeballs, with a poisonous touch. If you are touched from any side by a Mummy when the blinkers are fully extended, you will fall dead instantly.


; Jeep : The Jeep is bullet proof, and no amount of attack from players' machine guns will get this car out of their way. The only way to destroy these green cars is to push them off the side of the road, or to use oil or smoke in front of them so that they drive off the side of the road.
; Dr. Rhof : Dr. Rhof is bullet proof, and no amount of speed from the  players' evasive move will get him tricked. The only way to destroy him is to fire at his ship while ''slowly'' moving to make his shots reflect and kill him. But be careful--always limit your shooting, or you will also be killed as well!!


; Chopper : The Chopper will hover above players and is able to follow them wherever they go. Chopper can make quite a nuisance of itself. It will drop bombs in front of players that create huge craters in the road, causing massive damage to any car that should drive over them. The Chopper can only be destroyed using [[surface-to-air missile]]s—available from a weapons van—although it will fly away on its own when it runs out of bombs to drop.


===Weapon vans===
; Cars : The cars will speed above 78mph. and is able to block players from wherever side they are. Cars can make quite a nuisance of themselves. They will kill players if they try to go across the road, plus they're bullet-proof. The only way to cross the road is to wait for a large open gap and right when it's at the bottom of the screen, run! (You'll have to dodge the other incoming cars).
The Weapons vans are friendly vehicles. Different types of vans give players different types of assistance. Vans will either repair a player's vehicle or give them some type of [[weapon]].


; Smoke van : The Smoke van fits a [[smoke screen]] to a player's car. When deployed, the smoke screen forms a wide blanket of dense smoke across the road. The smoke does not cause any damage to vehicles that are caught in it, but causes them to drive blindly to the side to get out of the smoke. It can therefore be used to edge cars off the road.
===Power-up/Emblems===
The power-ups are used essentially to maintain score, speed, escape and stability. They're located in Maze, Adventure, Space, and Platform.
 
; Pendant Jewel : The 6 Pendant Jewels represent power to defeat Dr. Rhof, and mostly for chances of beating any more of his traps. They're located at the bottom of the screen, on the map.


; Oil van : The Oil van fits an [[oil]] canister to the back of a player's car. When deployed, the oil pours out onto the road behind players, causing any cars that drive over it to skid uncontrollably until they crash. This can be very powerful, and also allows players to destroy the armored Jeep. Players should be careful not to let civilians get caught in the mess.
