NAME

       val-and-rick - shooter game

DESCRIPTION

       Val  and  Rick  is  probably the precursor to Gunroar, featuring similar controls but in a
       different environment. Only 2D sprites and backgrounds are  used  in  what  seems  like  a
       tribute to Xevious and Star Soldier.

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. This
       will  cause  your  ship  to  go into hyperdrive, that is until all energy is spent or your
       spacecraft takes damage from enemy bullets. Each successful hyperdrive  attempt  increases
       the counter by another hundred.

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