Spout - abstract pixel shooter

SYNOPSIS

spout [options]

DESCRIPTION

Spout is a small cave-flying arcade game in black and white. The player has to navigate a spaceship upwards through a series of caves, avoiding the walls and the window borders, and getting through the checkpoints before the limited time runs out.

The engine exhaust's plume can (and must) be used as a flamethrower for eroding the cave walls in order to make passages for the ship to go through.

At the title screen, hit spacebar to begin playing. Your goal is to get as high as you possibly can, without crashing or your time running out.

USAGE

Spout is played with the keyboard:
 - left and right arrow keys: turn the ship around
 - z, x, spacebar, or enter key: thrust/fire
 - escape key: pause
 - shift-escape: exit

Instructions:
 - Keep going up, up, up!
 - Get through the next barrier before time runs out!
 - Use the exhaust plume to make way!
