# meritous(6)

an action adventure dungeon-crawl game

## NAME

meritous - an action adventure dungeon-crawl game

## SYNOPSIS

**meritous** \[**fullscreen**\]

## DESCRIPTION

Meritous is an action-adventure dungeon-crawl game where you play the role of a character with a PSI circuit, capable of destroying monsters in a radius around the player.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

## BASIC CONTROLS

The following the basic controls to the game:

**Arrow keys**

Move around. To walk through doors, simply walk up to them and push against them.

**Space**

Charge your PSI circuit for attack, release to attack.

**Escape**

Exit the game.

**H**

View the help file.

**Tab**

View the map (you can use the arrow keys to scroll around the map, press space to move quickly in the map).

**Enter**

Activate a trigger tile that you are standing on. Enter is also used for various other things, such as reading in-game dialog.

**P**

Pause the game.

## OPTIONS

These programs do not follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-'). Instead, just type the command after the exectuable name.

**fullscreen**
