       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.)
