THE GAME

CONTROLS

Turn ship left:   Left Arrow, Joystick Left
Turn ship right:  Right Arrow, Joystick Right
Thrust:           Space, Joystick Button 2
Fire gun:         Up Arrow, Joystick Up
Launch missile:   Down Arrow, Joystick Button 1

These are player #1 defaults and joystick controls, respectively.
Player #2 defaults are: 'A D <TAB> W S'. In addition, you can configure
the keyboard control keys for both players from the SETUP screen.

OBJECTIVE
There are two ways to play ROKETZ:
In the COMBAT mode, in order to win, you simply have to shoot your
opponent down till he runs out of ships.

In the RACE mode you need to beat your opponent in completing certain
number of laps. The correct route is to follow the checkpoints so that
they flash when you race by. If you get killed you have to start the
last lap over again. Also, the fastest lap will go to your personal
stats and, if fast enough, to the Hall of Fame.

DASHBOARD
Each ship has a dashboard displaying the following items:
* The number of ships/laps left;
* Shield status;
* Remaining fuel;
* Remaining missiles;
* Remaining ammo.

It is useful to return to your base every now and then for your ship to
be refilled and repaired. In addition to yours, you can sneak to the
enemy base to get a refill, or use some of the docking stations in the
level.
Also, you should know that it is possible to land on any flat surface,
when you are in the need of rest.

Depending on how successful the game was, you would get a credits bonus
and, after a while, gain new rank - which grants you the access to the
next playground.

BONUSES
Bonuses are the small rotating octagons appearing now and then on the
playground. They work as follows:
* TURBO gives you sudden acceleration;
* SHIELD gives your ship bullet-proof shield;
* ORB adds three active ORBs to your arsenal;
* X gives you an extra life;
* HEART repairs your shield;
* FUEL restores your fuel;
* AMMO restores your ammo.
