# Story
-SEUM does a great job setting the stage when you open the game for the
-first time, playing an animated video in the form of comic book images.
-You see Marty, the protagonist, sitting around drinking his beer as
-Satan busts down the door, cuts his hand off, and steals all his beer
-and bacon. As Satan is leaving, Marty whips a vinyl record across the
-room and cuts off one of Satan\'s hands. This hand is what allows you to
-use all the powers in the game.

# Gameplay
-To accomplish each level, you will need to get to the final blue portal
-under a certain time limit. You can beat a level by getting to the
-portal before the time meter runs out or \"Dominate\" a level by beating
-it within a shorter time limit (noted by a bright red/orange color in
-the time meter).
-
-The portal is usually set behind locked gates, protected by dangerous
-defenses, or in hard-to-reach places. To reach the portal, you\'ll need
-to go through any existing orange portals, light all yellow beacons,
-avoid things like fireballs and blades, or use any satanic power orbs
-lying around. These special abilities include:
-
-- Gravity
-- Teleport
-- Rewind
-- Spawn platform
-- Roar (DLC)
-- Rocket (DLC)
-- Shadow world (DLC)
-
-For the main storyline, there are nine floors to beat. Each floor
-contains nine regular levels, one boss level, and one bonus level;
-although you don\'t technically need to beat all levels to advance to
-the next floor.

-restart if you die. One of the great things about SEUM is that it has
-great keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly smash `R` to
-restart the level or `M` to return to the level menu.
