NOIZ2SA(6) 💖 the Games Manual glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to noiz2sa — this one lives in section 6 of the Games Manual, so it's a game game, not a boring sysadmin thing. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

noiz2sa — an abstract arcade shooter 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

noiz2sa [-nosound] [-window] [-reverse] [-brightness n] [-nowait]
[-accframe]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

noiz2sa is an abstract arcade shooter. that's the entire description, fr fr — just fire it up and you'll find out what that means. no spoilers, no cap. 😭✨

✨ USAGE ✨

you can play the game with a keyboard or a joystick. on the keyboard, these are the keys:

• Movement — Arrow keys
• Fire — [Z]
• Slowdown — [X]
• Pause — [P]
• Leave Game — [Esc]

control your ship and avoid the barrage. 🌈 a ship is not destroyed even if it contacts an enemy main body — yes bestie, you can just bonk into them, iconic. a ship becomes slow while holding the slowdown key.

a green star is the bonus item. ⭐ a score of the item (displayed at the left-up corner) increases if you get items continuously. the way that combo stacks… obsessed.

when all ships are destroyed, the game is over. 💀 the ship extends 200,000 and every 500,000 points.

apart from that the game is really easy, no need for a manual! 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

these command line options are available:

• -nosound — stop the sound. 🔇
• -window — launch the game in the window, not use the full-screen. 🪟
• -reverse — reverse the fire key and the slowdown key. 🔄
• -brightness n — set the brightness of the screen (n=0-256). ✨
• -accframe — use the alternative framerate management algorithm. (if you have a problem with framerate, try this option.) 🔥

psst — -nowait shows up in the synopsis but isn't listed down here in the options. that's just how it is, bestie. 🙈
