✨ NAME ✨

val-and-rick — a shooter game 💥

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so Val and Rick is probably the precursor to Gunroar, bestie — same-ish controls, but a whole different environment, it's giving glow-up era. 🦋

Only 2D sprites and backgrounds are used in here, and honestly? It reads like a straight-up tribute to Xevious and Star Soldier. Vintage icon behaviour, no cap. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These options are available:

  • -brightness n — Set the brightness of the screen. (n = 0 - 100, default = 100) ✨
  • -luminous n — Set the luminous intensity. (n = 0 - 100, default = 50) 🌟
  • -nosound — Stop the sound. 🔇
  • -window — Launch the game in a window. 🪟
  • -fullscreen — Launch the game in fullscreen. 🖥️
  • -res width height — Sets the resolution of the screen in pixels. 📐
  • -nosound — (yep, it's listed a second time, that's literally what the page says, i don't make the rules 💀)
  • -nowait — (no description given, she's mysterious, main character energy 🙈)
  • -accframe — (also no description, we simply respect her 🌸)

🌈 USAGE 🌈

Press the Z key to shoot, and hold down the X key to fix the direction of your aim. 🔫

A power-up icon in the shape of a tiny ship named Rick will appear if you collect enough blue orbs from defeated enemies — which is indicated at the bottom left of the screen. Collect it and your ship goes into hyperdrive ✨, that is until all energy is spent or your spacecraft takes damage from enemy bullets. And every successful hyperdrive attempt increases the counter by another hundred. periodt. 💯

The X key can also be used to drop bombs on grounded objects. 💣 Tap the P key to pause. ⏸️ And heads up: the closer your ship is to the top of the screen, the faster it scrolls. 🚀
