PARSEC47(6)

✨ PARSEC47 ✨ (section 6 of the manual, bestie 💅)

okay so picture this: it's PARSEC47(6), and it's literally a whole vibe. it's in section 6 of the manual (games, obvs 🎮), and it's giving retromodern hispeed shmup energy. yes that's the official phrasing. we don't make the rules. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

parsec47 — retromodern hispeed shmup. that's the whole name. iconic. no notes. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Defeat retro enemies modernly. that's it. that's the thesis statement. 💀✨

PARSEC47 is a retromodern hi-speed shoot 'em up where you get to defeat retro enemies modernly. the way that sentence goes so hard honestly.

so like, the player must destroy enemies while also avoiding their projectiles, and also collecting green clusters of boxes for points. three jobs, one ship, zero chill. 🫶

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

These options are available:

• -brightness n — sets the brightness of the screen. (n = 0 - 100, default = 100) so like, if your eyeballs are begging for mercy, this is your girl 🌈
• -luminous n — sets the luminous intensity. (n = 0 - 100, default = 0) the glow-up setting, literally. ✨
• -lowres — use the low resolution mode. crunchier pixels, same chaos. 🎀
• -nosound — stop the sound. (silent mode for when you're gaming at 3am and the household is asleep 🙈)
• -window — launch the game in a window.
• -fullscreen — launch the game in fullscreen. main character energy, edge to edge 💅
• -reverse — reverse the shot key and the slow key. chaos mode but make it ergonomic 🔥
• -slowship — use the slow speed ship in all game modes. not just some. all. no cap.
• -nowait — disable the intentional slowdown. yes bestie, the slowdown is intentional, that's the whole point, and this flag is the "actually no" button 💀

🎀 USAGE 🎀

How to play:

• Movement — Arrow/Num key / Joystick
• Shot — [Z][L-Ctrl] / Trigger 1, 4, 5, 8
• Slow / Roll, Lock — [X][L-Alt][L-Shift] / Trigger 2, 3, 6, 7
• Pause — [P]

Select the stage by a keyboard or a joystick. Press a shot key to start the game. All stages are endless and created randomly each time. The game continues until you lose all ships. so like. there is no final boss. there is only vibes and eventual death. 🦋

Control your ship and destroy enemies. While holding a slow key, the ship becomes slow. that's the trick, that's the whole trick. 💖

You can also select the game mode from 2 types. Press a slow key in the title screen to change the game mode. Each mode has a different barrage pattern. pick your poison, bestie 🍓

Roll mode: Hold a slow key to charge the roll shot energy. The roll shot is fired when you release the key. charge it, release it, watch things go boom. 💥

Lock mode: While holding a slow key, you can shot the lock-on laser that aims an enemy in the front of your ship. (yes the original says "shot the lock-on laser" and honestly? we respect it. verb now. 🫶)

📈 the ship extends at 200,000 and every 500,000 points. so like. grind, girl.
