🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

snipe2d

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no args, no fuss, just launch it. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this manual page documents briefly the snipe2d game. 🎀

and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so like, someone had to do it, and they did. iconic of them honestly. 💖

Orbital Eunuchs Sniper is an overhead shooting game. You — the Eunuch on the orbital laser platform 👑 — are tasked with protecting the VIPs (blue) from the terrorists (red)! You view a city from overhead, from the point of view of an orbiting satellite. Your laser takes some time to recharge. 😭

bestie the laser recharging is going to be the death of you. literally. plan around it.
