In the beginning you can just move left and right in the game and see the title blinking in the background
pressing the up arrow actually starts the game........and you need to be really quick about it since you jump as well and a pair of platforms appear which are basically the crux of the game . I felt this was a much more visceral and fast-paced into than having a menu or anything else in the way
