.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbalder2d\fP is an arcade style 2d overhead shooter, 
in a zero gravity environment.
In Balder2D, players control small probes which shoot tiny projectiles with
which they try to destroy each other. It features a 2D overhead view of the
playing field. Probes may be human or computer controlled.

A probe can perform the following actions:

    * rotate
    * fire projectiles
    * "stick" to a wall
    * push off of a wall

Players may rotate their probes while in flight, but the only way to change
the direction or speed of flight is by firing projectiles (which gives a
small kick in the opposite direction) or by running into walls or other probes.
