    ok here they are , some of them may not make any sense to you ;) it comes with graphics examples,
    anyway, any help will be acceptable ! change the errors..(even the whole sentence if needed)

    ************************************************
    1) Defeat spider boss

    2) total boss defeat :

    3) Keep your fingers on
    the screen for combos

    4) Dont let the timer
    punch your score ! (the timer is a puncher)

    5) To pop a Tilt balloon
    Tilt the device to its side ! (sometimes its left and sometimes right)

    6) To pop a party balloon

    I think you are correct when you said it might require images to fully understand what you are trying to say. If you want to send me a document with screenshots and the appropriate text under each one to my email address, I can take a look at it tonight...

    Send it to:

    lance. tofsrud@gmail.com

    Just remove the large amount of space between the period and my last name and you'll be good to go.

    wow this is so nice of you!
    ill send you photos only, the text is already above , the name of the photos will be numbers
    so each photo connects to the sentence number above (is that make any sense?)
    thank you thank you thank you!!

    Sure. Sound good. Just heading out for a couple of hours but I should be able to get something back to you in a day or two.

    Wow! your English is good!

    I just think the syntax/format should be more consistent.

    Example:
    15) things that will kill the party :
    don't touch the cake
    keep the time frame full!
    don't miss the tilt balloons
    fully complete boss modes!
    15) Keep your party going!
    Don't touch the cake!
    Don't let time get punched-out!
    Don't miss the Tilt Balloons!
    Complete each Boss mode!

    this is exactly what im talking about!
    i put so much effort in the game (graphics, sound , performance etc)
    i just dont want my english to be an obstacle..
    by the way, its not my english that is good, its the Dictionary's english ;)

    love the syntax/format thingy, wish i new how to do it myself..

    A little advice from me: it is a rule to not have a space between the last symbol and an exclamation- or question mark.
    So: Yes! instead of Yes !
    and Why? instead of Why ?
