For some reason I don't like the rocket-backpack level...

Here are some 'tips' for people that play Turrican not so often :
1. At the very start turn left and walk as far as possible. Jump up and gain one extra live
2. Use the spread shot. The laser has more fire power, but it's easier to shoot flying enemies with the spread shot.
3. Use the beam whenever possble and turn into the 'wheel' when there are spikes on the ground.
4. Always have the spacebar ready for power lines. They help a lot in certain situations.
