# balder2d(6)

2D zero gravity shooter

## NAME

balder2d - 2D zero gravity shooter

## SYNOPSIS

**balder2d** \[*config-file\]*\

## DESCRIPTION

**balder2d** is an arcade style 2d overhead shooter,  in a zero gravity environment. In Balder2D, players control small probes which shoot tiny projectiles with which they try to destroy each other. It features a 2D overhead view of the playing field. Probes may be human or computer controlled.

A probe can perform the following actions:

    \* rotate\
     \* fire projectiles\
     \* "stick" to a wall\
     \* push off of a wall

Players may rotate their probes while in flight, but the only way to change the direction or speed of flight is by firing projectiles (which gives a small kick in the opposite direction) or by running into walls or other probes.
