       rRootage - an abstract arcade shooter

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       rRootage is an arcade style shooting game. Avoid the barrage of bullets while  using  your
       laser to destroy the enemy's battle ship.

USAGE

       You  can  play  the game with a keyboard or a joystick. On the keyboard the following keys
       are used:

        - 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.

       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. 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. 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.

   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".

OPTIONS

       These command line options are available:

       -lowres
              Low resolution mode.

       -mediumres
              Medium resolution mode.

       -highres
              High resolution mode (default).

       -nosound
              Disable sound.

       -window
              Launch the game in a window, rather than fullscreen.

       -fullscreen
              Launch the game in fullscreen mode.

       -reverse
              Reverse the fire key and the special key.

       -nowait
              When  there  are  a large number of bullets on the screen, the game is slowed down.
              This option prevents this slowdown so that the game speed is constant.

       -accframe
              Use the alternative frame rate management algorithm. (If you have  a  problem  with
              the frame rate, try this option.)
