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 back-
       grounds 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  indi-
       cated  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 space-
       craft 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.
