RROOTAGE DOWNLOAD WINDOWS
The game can be downloaded for Windows from here. The game uses a special markup language called BulletML, also created by Kenta Cho, to define its bullet patterns. There is a warmup delay in activating the shield, and a cooldown delay as your Reflect Meter refills, so you have to think carefully about the best time to make use of it. Any bullets which hit the shield will reflect damage back at the boss. When it's full, holding secondary fire will surround the ship in a short-lived reflector shield. Your ship has a Reflect Meter which automatically refills. By carefully switching colors, you can navigate the barrage of bullets and deal extra damage to the boss while you're fighting it. When your ship touches a bullet of the same color as itself, damage is reflected at the boss instead of your ship. The bullets fired by the boss are either white or red, and your ship can switch between those same two colors using secondary file. Fill it up and your ship becomes invincible for about three seconds. Secondary fire slows you down but allows you to brush up against the non-damaging portions of projectiles, which increases your Graze Meter. Normal Mode: Your ship has three bombs, which vaporize the bullets in a small area around it for a limited time, allowing you to get out of trouble when the bullet pattern has become too much to cope with. The main gameplay difference between each mode is the nature of the secondary power given to your ship. The game has four modes: one 'normal' mode, and three special Arrange Modes which are based on three influential titles in the bullet hell genre.

Your objective in each level is to take out five of these bosses in a row, each one sporting a different arsenal. The game has only one kind of opponent: a large, durable boss enemy which fires lots and lots of bullets. You control a small ship which can fire a continuous laser beam, and dependent on the game mode, also utilize a limited secondary defensive power. And that's not even its final form.Released for personal computers in 2003 by Kenta Cho, rRootage is Bullet Hell stripped down to the absolute essentials.
