Thanks for trying my game, didn't think anybody would. OWO
I copy pasted the controls below. Please tell me if these answer your question:
To get past the first level (or any level) is by pressing "<" when you are above a "<" on the screen.
The recommended strategy is to avoid strong opponents unless you have lots of vodka (whisky is ok too). It's handy to have a couple sangrias to use them to evade strong enemies, don't use them against weak ones. If you see a P or a D, you should probably just run, maybe even a q. u's and n's are easy.
Save your jello shots, only use them if your CUMMIES are at about 10 or 20, because going down the "<" gives you half your health back.
