Free Game Friday: rRootage

Do you like shmups?! Fuck yeah you do! So lets get on the Japanese indie scene for some free awesome stuff.

rRootage is a very simple top down shooter with some awesome music and some extremely difficult bullet patterns.  It has 4 modes which are Normal, Psy, Ika and GW modes, but I've not played this game in such a long time that I've forgotten how the game play changes with each mode.  There are no "levels" in this game, it's effectively one big boss rush kind of similar to another game I covered a while back, Warning Forever.

So the first thing that you see when you fire up the game is this

The top four boxes are the modes, then ever other box is a stage in which you have to kill the boss a few times before you win.  Each stage is gets harder and harder as you progress and each time you kill the boss within the stage, his attacks get more intense.

The game can be a real challenge and it's the kind of game that you can pick up, have a quick crack at and then put down again, it's a lot of fun
