✨ NAME ✨

rRootage — an abstract arcade shooter 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rrootage [-lowres|-mediumres|-highres] [-nosound] [-window]
[-fullscreen] [-reverse] [-nowait] [-accframe]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So rRootage is an arcade style shooting game, periodt. Your whole job? dodge the barrage of bullets while you use your laser to absolutely demolish the enemy's battle ship. That's it. That's the vibe. 🔥

---

🎮 USAGE 🎮

You can play the game with a keyboard or a joystick — dealer's choice, bestie. On the keyboard, here's your whole arsenal:

• Movement — Arrow keys
• Fire — Z
• Special — X
• Pause — P
• Leave Game — Escape

In the initial screen, use X to choose the mode, and Z to select a level. iykyk 🫶

The game has the following modes:

⚪ Normal Mode

This is the standard game mode. Your ship slows down while your laser is being fired. The special key releases a bomb, which destroys enemy bullets. The number of bombs you have is displayed in the bottom-right corner. 💣

🌈 PSY Mode

When bullets graze your ship the graze meter, which is displayed in the bottom-right corner, increases. When the meter becomes full, your ship is temporarily invincible — main character energy fr fr. The special key increases the range within which bullets graze your ship, but also slows your ship down. ⭐

🖤🤍 IKA Mode

Your ship has two modes, white and black, and the enemy bullets come in white and black varieties too. You can absorb bullets with the same colour as the mode of your ship, and they will be converted into lasers. The special key switches between white and black mode. it's giving chess but make it chaos ♟️

🪞 GW Mode

Your ship has a bullet reflector, which you activate using the special key. However, you can only use it while the reflector meter, shown in the bottom right corner, displays "OK". So like… check the meter first bestie, don't waste it 😭
