NAME
mu-cade - chase action game DESCRIPTION
The Physics Centipede Invasion Smashup waggly shmup, 'Mu-cade' Mu-cade is another shoot-em-up game by Kenta Cho. In this game Kenta has introduced physics into his formula of hardcore shooting games. Similar in some ways to Asteroids and Nibbles, the playing area is a rectangular arena in which vessel-snakes have only one idea at the head: expelling the others into the vacuum. You incarnate one of them, and you'll quickly realize the subtlety of the goal: your tail lengthens as you destroy your enemies. OPTIONS
These command-line options are available: -brightness n Set the brightness of the screen. (n = 0 - 100, default = 100) -res x y Set the screen resolution to (x, y). (default = 640, 480) -nosound Stop the sound. -window Launch the game in a window. -fullscreen Launch the game in fullscreen mode. -exchange Exchange a shot key and a cut off key. -rotatestick2 n Rotate the direction of the stick2 in n degrees. -reversestick2 Reverse the direction of the stick2. -disablestick2 Disable the input of the stick2. -enableaxis5 Use the input of axis 5 to fire shots and axis 3 to cut off the tail. (for Xbox 360 wired controller) USAGE
Keep your ship from falling down and push enemies out of the way. Controls: Move Arrow / Num / [WASD] / Stick1 (Axis 1, 2) Fire shots / Hold direction [Z][L-Ctrl][R-Ctrl][.] / Trigger 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 [IJKL] / Stick2 (Axis 3 or 5, 4) Hold a key to open automatic fire and hold the direction of a ship. Tap a key to take a turn while firing. You can also fire shots with the second stick. (If you have a problem with the direction of the stick2, try '-rotatestick2' and '-reversestick2' options. e.g. '-rotatestick2 -90 -reversestick2') (If you are using Xbox 360 wired controller, use '-enableaxis5' option.) Cut off the tail [X][L-Alt][R-Alt][L-Shift][R-Shift] [/][Return][Space] / Trigger 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Cut off the tail of your ship. This action also wipes out all bullets and you obtain powerful shots for a while. Pause [P] Exit / Return to the title [ESC] Tail multiplier: The tail of your ship becomes longer when you push an enemy out and you get a score multiplier. Extra ship: You earn an extra ship 50,000 and every 200,000 points. SEE ALSO
