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.
