🏎️ TROPHY(6) — the games manual, but make it a vibe 💖

okay so bestie, buckle UP, because trophy is in section 6 of the manual (that's the games corner of the manpage world, iykyk) and she is so much more than a lil racing game 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

trophy — a 2D car racing action game. yes. that's the whole name. short. iconic. main character energy 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

trophy

literally just that. no flags. no args. just vibes and velocity 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so trophy is a single-player racing game for Linux. on the surface the goal is basically "finish the laps first," which sounds like every other racer ever, right? WRONG. trophy is an action game and it offers much more than just a race. like, so much more.

the game comes stacked with lots of extras that unlock "unusual" features for your races — shooting, putting mines, and many others. it's giving "racing game that woke up and chose violence" fr fr 💀🔥

🎮 CONTROLS 🎮

here's the whole keyboard situation, bestie. memorize it or perish (dramatic, but true):

  • Arrow Up — Accelerate. gas pedal, go fast, zoom 🏎️💨
  • Arrow Down — Decelerate. and the manpage itself says "Don't use." 😭 so like… noted. don't.
  • Arrow Left — Steer to the left. 👈
  • Arrow Right — Steer to the right. 👉
  • A — Turbo. boosts your speed while it's pressed, as long as there's still turbo fuel left. use it to overtake other cars or catch up if you've fallen behind. clutch. 🚀
  • C — Drop bomb. bombs will explode after a second. use it to damage other cars. rude, but legal 💣
  • X — Shoot. fires your machinegun straight ahead — so make sure you're actually pointed towards another car first, otherwise you're just decorating the track 🙈
  • Space — Horn. useless but fun anyway. that's the whole pitch and honestly? respect. 📣
  • Escape — Stop race, go back to the previous menu, or quit the game. the universal "i need out of here" button 🫶

📁 FILES 📁

  • ~/trophy/ — contains the game saves 💾✨ (yes, in your home directory, so that's where your whole racing legacy lives)
