Synopsis:

Barrage is a rather violent action game with the objective to kill and destroy as many targets as possible within 3 minutes. The player controls a gun that may either fire small or large grenades at soldiers, jeeps and tanks. It is a very simple gameplay though it is not that easy to get high scores.

The gun is located at the left side of the screen and has an ammunition of 36 shots. Aiming is done by simply moving the mouse pointer which is a crosshair above a target and left-click it for example. A shot is then fired and an angle of 60 degrees and it will exactly hit the spot you aimed at. The meaning of the mouse buttons is as follows:

  • Left Button Fire a large grenade.
  • Middle Button or Ctrl + Left Button Fire a small grenade.
  • Right Button Reload gun to full 36 rounds.
  • Similiar to Ctrl+LeftButton being an alternative to Middle Button
  • you can use the SpaceBar to reload the gun.
  • ESC quits the game without checking the highscore.

To enter the highscore you'll have to play a full game of 3 minutes. 'f' switches between Fullscreen/Window and 's' enables/disables sound. By default the program starts with sound and fullscreen enabled.

Whenever you fire a large grenade the crosshair will turn red for 0.5 seconds. In this time you cannot shoot.
