NAME

       Rafkill - a vertical shoot'em-up

SYNOPSIS

       rafkill [ -l ] [ -w ] [ -g<speed> ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rafkill is a clone of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, a classic shoot'em-up game.

       You  have a bird's eye view of the playing field, which is an alien world, and your job is
       to destroy the enemies that are flying towards you shooting bullets. The  score  lets  you
       buy life, shield, better weapons or even new spaceships.

       Killing enemies gives you money, or score. If you kill a group of enemies, you might get a
       handy coin which gives you more score. There are other powerups, so look for them too.

       The score lets you buy more weapons and hull parts. There are 5 weapon groups  and  a  few
       weapons in each group, but you can only have one weapon per group except for the accessory
       weapons in which you can have up to 3 weapons. Once you buy 3, you cannot  buy  any  more.
       There  are 3 hulls, which have each higher life and shield than the previous one and gives
       you access to a new set of weapons. Buying a new hull does not throw  away  your  weapons,
       but it does throw away your accessory weapons.
