Gameplay:

-Pump Blood through the body of the Hero with oxygen, so he can do heroic things. Like punching pigs and snakes...

-Don't Pump too fast, or your stress meter will deplete completely, which may end in a heart attack

-Don't Pump too slow, if your stress meter is maxed out, you will continually lose life.

-Each successful pump will return oxygen to your body, which in turn will allow you to attack and take less damage.

-Pump just right to gain adrenalin, which will speed you up.

-Don't skip a beat! Stay in rhythm and always follow a pull with a pump. If you pump two times in a row... you may end up with a heart attack.

Tips (Read only if you have problems):

-Try to keep your oxygen levels as high as possible, just before an enemy is about to attack. This way you can tank most of the damage.

-If you are low on oxygen, don't panic. You should be fine if the enemy just attacked. Just be sure to have enough oxygen to attack yourself.

-Try to always end with a pump befor you rest. This way you wont mess up the order of your inputs.

-Try to pump perfectly. High adrenaline levels don't only speed you up, you also heal more hp per pump.

-If you are high on adrenaline, try to pump as slowly as possible. This way the chance that you loose your adrenaline is lower. Less pumps = less possible misspumps!
