The game also has a help feature, it's still a work in progress, though.

Also how do i buy a gun or ammo?And does this game have what i call "hollywood physics"?
,Hollywood physics is like cutting a tank in half with a sword or beating a guy with a really powerful gun and armour to death.(edit)I think i broke the game..i shot some guy in the eye and he laughed.(edit)My homeless shelter was under seige and I gave up now i cannot do anything.

LCS is about taking your time. If you start shooting people in the first few days of the game, before you're ready, you're pretty much doomed.

yes this game can have the physic of a bad Chop Sockey film as you kill your foes with a single flying kick and dodge bullets

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Physics go from "ow it's so hardcore" when you're a new character to Hollywoodish when your characters accrue enough juice and become proper badasses. The biggest difficulty curve in LCS is the interface; beyond that, I suggest exploring. LCS does follow the "losing is fun" mentality of brutal difficulty that DF shares, and I think bumbling your way through the adventure is half the fun. Minmaxing to win can wait until you've tried a few different strategies and been gunned down or sentenced to life in prison through a variety of interesting and spectacular failures. Once you get to the point where you really want to master the game, the Wiki is your best friend, and you can always post here to ask for tips.

Although you will have to kill at least 25 people, probably the absolute minimum required to beat the game, the game can also be won by killing lots of people.

Wrong. I've won on several occasions and using several different methods, without a single kill. Liberal newspaper is very effective with about 10 people writing on it, graffiti is effective with about one skilled artist doing it, break in and make a mess is effective, and guitars, my lord, they ROCK. Not sure about the recent alpha though.
