v1.0 released 10/17/23

ABOUT
-------------------------------
Little Nemo X is a remake of EikSoft's original game, Little Nemo's Nightmare which
was released in August of 2014. The game combines two NES classics, Little Nemo: The
Dream Master and the lesser known game Monster Party, to add a horror themed twist.

There were numerous issues with the original game, namely that it was way too
difficult, only giving the player one life to beat the entire game. This meant
most players rarely made it past the first level. This has been rectified in the
update by adding an easy mode for new players. Even if you've beaten Nightmare,
this game is a whole new experience!


FEATURES
-------------------------------
- NEW 2 Player mode!
- NEW Top 100 online high score table (must be on normal difficulty to save score)
- NEW level designs and enemies
- NEW easy mode for beginner players
- NEW hidden mode (See secret riddle at end of this file)
- Collision code and difficulty has been tweaked
- 3 Levels with an end boss for each
- Play as a different character per level, each with its own control style
- Randomly generated enemies / level elements for a new game on every play
- Hard mode unlocked after beating the game on normal difficulty
- Includes source code

TIP: You get a higher score at the end of each level based on your time and health 
remaining
