SYNOPSIS

snipe2d

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the snipe2d game.

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

Orbital Eunuchs Sniper is an overhead shooting game. You (the Eunuch on the orbital laser platform) are tasked with protecting the VIPs (blue) from the terrorists (red)! You view a city from overhead, from the point of a view of an orbiting satellite. Your laser takes some time to recharge.
