Absorbed bullets are automatically changed into lasers that damage the enemy.Ĥ.) GW MODE - This mode is inspired by the 'Gigawing' family of games. Your ship absorbs bullets of the same color but others destroy it. Your ship can switch between red and blue colors. The 'special' attack is used to 'scratch' on a wider area, but it slows down your movement.ģ.) IKA MODE - This mode is inspired by the legendary game 'Ikaruga' for Dreamcast & Gamecube. This technique is also called 'scratching'. Use this short period of time to graze as many bullets as possible and become invincible again. When the gauge is full, your ship becomes temporarily invincible. When your ship grazes a bullet, the gauge fills up. You have a limited number of bombs that clear enemy bullets.Ģ.) PSY MODE - This mode is inspired by the 'Psyvariar' family of games. Your ship is slower when firing the laser. * Bullet-shape outlines can be turned on or off (good for 320x240 resolutions)ġ.) NORMAL MODE - This is the standard game mode. * Music and 'bullet-time slowdown' can easily be disabled * Trainer 'cheat' modes (high-score saving is disabled when in use) * Optionally rotated-and-zoomed playfield rRootage for GCW Zero features several new options the original game lacked: You can read more about my port in the official article.

My GCW port is a highly-optimized OpenGLES conversion that runs at 100% full speed. You get a new ship after 200,000 points and then every 500,000 points. The closer you are, the more damage you cause. You must avoid bullet barrages and use your laser to destroy the enemy battleship. Combined with the four distinct play styles the game has a lot of content that will last any shmup fan for a long time.RRootage is a popular bullet-hell shoot-em-up, or, 'SHMUP', originally released as freeware by Japanese programmer Kenta Cho in 2003. There are 40 levels in Rrootage, and each one is broken into five sub-levels. This is the players only hope during some of the more manic bullet waves and the usage of the shield is most important. The shield will absorb all enemy fire in it's radius and after usage it needs to recharge.

GW mode's special feature is a bullet absorbing shield that needs to recharge, but it can be used infinitely.

As shots are absorbed they are automatically fired back at the boss. As red/black they can absorb red/black fire and as blue/white they absorb blue/white fire. instead of bombs like in normal mode, the player can switch between two polarities. The closer they are to enemy fire the more points they get.

Psy mode is a mode that encourages players to go near enemy fire.

Firing slows the ship's movement speed slightly. You start with three 'bombs' that will erase all enemy bullets within a certain radius.

Normal mode is the basic textbook shmup.

There are no powerups or different weapons other than the starting weapon, Rrootage has a minimalist approach to gameplay. So it's more like a game against a super turret, rather than standard enemies. It also focuses on single boss-like enemies, rather than send swarms of enemies and intricate weaving salvo's of small fighters, each level has only one large enemy and the level ends when it is destroyed. Rrootage is a 'one-hit-one-kill' shmup and every mode gives the player three lives and they can gain more by getting high scores. Like other bullet-hell shooters, the ship is only destroyed if the core is hit, as that is the vulnerable hitbox, bullets can pass through the wire-frame cylinder with no damage done. The ship in Rrootage is some weird broken up cylinder with a pink core in the center. Since each mode is different and have their own unique gameplay tweaks, the game is essentially four games in one. Rrootage's unique quad gameplay style approach and medium sized selectable levels lend itself to perfect 'I-got-15-minutes-to-kill' sessions.
