NAME

       Rafkill - a vertical shoot'em-up

SYNOPSIS

       rafkill [ -l ] [ -w ] [ -g<speed> ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rafkill is a clone of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, a classic shoot'em-up game.

       You  have  a  bird's eye view of the playing field, which is an alien world, and your job is to destroy the enemies that are flying towards
       you shooting bullets. The score lets you buy life, shield, better weapons or even new spaceships.

       Killing enemies gives you money, or score. If you kill a group of enemies, you might get a handy coin which gives you more score. There are
       other powerups, so look for them too.

       The  score  lets  you buy more weapons and hull parts. There are 5 weapon groups and a few weapons in each group, but you can only have one
       weapon per group except for the accessory weapons in which you can have up to 3 weapons. Once you buy 3, you cannot buy any more. There are
       3  hulls, which have each higher life and shield than the previous one and gives you access to a new set of weapons. Buying a new hull does
       not throw away your weapons, but it does throw away your accessory weapons.
