**Controls:
A/D or Left/Right: Move Left/Right
W or Up: Slow Fall
S or Down: Fast Fall
Space: Jump (Double Jump)
E, Left Ctrl, Left Mouse Button: Deploy Pong Paddle
Esc: Pause Menu

**Objective:
Keep the Mad Marble Mage from breaking Mr. Tom's heart!! Keep your heart safe from the Mage's spells using your Pong Paddle and deflect the Orbs back at him. The Orbs carry a lot of weight, don't let them knock you around!! Jump on them at just the right time and go for a ride!! Don't fall off the map though, this angers the mage and he'll throw even more spells for your missteps!

**Mechanics:
Mr Tom, The Mage, and The Heart are all harmed by the magic orbs. You, as Mr Tom, must protect yourself and your heart! Each time one of his spells goes awry, The Mad Marble Mage will just throw another!


Mr. Tom Protects His Heart From The Mad Marble Mage is an arcade platformer that attempts to combine elements of classic Pong with platforming mechanics!
