BEGINNING TO PLAY

HOW TO START THE GAME

First install PikoNinja v1.0 by running piko1setup.exe, and following the instructions. After installing the game, go to Start/Programs, folder "Sisvia PikoNinja", and click on "PikoNinja (Windowed)". If correctly done, the game will run in a window. If you prefer to play in fullscreen mode, select "PikoNinja (Fullscreen)" instead.

HOW TO PLAY

When PikoNinja starts, the first screen shows the SISVIA logo. The next screen offers options for beginning to play ("Start") and for closing the game ("Exit"). In a menu, the currently selected option is identified by the rotating shuriken to the left. You can change the selected option by using the arrow keys of your keyboard. Press ENTER after you have positioned the shuriken in the desired option.

You have three save slots for keeping track of your progress. Select the slot from where you want to continue your game. The first time you run PikoNinja, all your slots will be empty (i.e., they will have a "0%" completion), so it's not important which slot you choose. Select any slot, and press ENTER.

Below the last slot (Slot C), there is an option "ERASE DATA", which you should use only when you decide to clear any slot (the progress and all status data stored in a slot will be lost after deletion!).
