Released for personal computers in 2003 by Kenta Cho, ''rRootage'' is BulletHell stripped down to the absolute essentials. You control a small ship which can fire a continuous laser beam, and dependent on the game mode, also utilize a limited secondary defensive power. The game has only one kind of opponent: a large, durable boss enemy which fires lots and ''lots'' of bullets. Your objective in each level is to take out five of these bosses in a row, each one sporting a different arsenal.

The game has four modes: one 'normal' mode, and three special modes which are based on three influential titles in the bullet hell genre. The main gameplay difference between each mode is the nature of the secondary power given to your ship.

Added DiffLines:

* TimeLimitBoss: You have 90 seconds to destroy each boss. The faster a boss is defeated, the more time bonus you get. If the timer runs out, you'll go to the next boss (or clear the stage if it was the 5th boss), but you won't get any bonus points.
