Description             : First off, you can't win.
                          
                          Monster spawning pads surround the center area,
                          which is where you spawn, and where ammo and some
                          health spawns. There's cover around the base, and
                          towers connected to it that teleport you in and
                          out of the base. Your goal is to kill as many
                          demons as possible. You will die. There is no win
                          condition. But there is a score!
                          
                          As you kill monsters, the spawned monsters will
                          get stronger and stronger. If you stop killing
                          monsters, the spawned monsters get weaker.
                          Killing monsters gets you health and ammo, so if
                          you're low on health and there aren't any pickups
                          you can see, well... hope you don't get sniped.
                          
                          There's also a minimap which tracks you, and the
                          monsters surrounding the map - bigger dots means
                          bigger baddies. Use it to more intelligently
                          attack areas, or figure out where to run the hell
                          away from.

                          I added explicit support for Samsara 0.29b and
                          Lelweps v7. If you don't know what those are,
                          don't worry.
