🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

barrage [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole thing. so simple, so iconic.


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -d <DELAY> β€” wait <DELAY> milliseconds in the main loop and when fading. this lowkey saves your CPU a great deal of work, but ngl it might mess with your frame rate depending on how fast your CPU is 🫢
  • -w β€” don't start in fullscreen, start in windowed mode instead. and you can switch this anytime while you're playing by pressing f ✨
  • -s β€” play silently, so like, no sounds at all. you can also toggle this mid-game by pressing s while playing πŸ”‡
  • -r β€” force a (valid) resolution. use this to fix bad auto detection or to zoom window mode πŸ’…

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Barrage is a rather destructive action game that puts you on a shooting range, and your whole objective is to hit as many dummy targets as possible within 3 minutes. yes, three. clock's ticking bestie ⏰

you control a gun which may either fire small or large grenades at dummy soldiers, jeeps and tanks. like, the whole roster. boom. πŸ’₯

the gameplay is simple β€” but it is not that easy to get high scores. not me getting humbled by dummies 😭
