RBST

GAME RULES

You have three actions: shot, rail and dash.

Shot and rail spend ammo, and dash spends stamina. Both resources constantly refill.

Shot is a slow projectile, and rail is a hitscan that freezes you in place for a split second while revealing the direction. Hitting a shot with a rail results in a combo with a large area of effect.

Dashing towards an enemy is a tackle and damages on contact, while dashing away from attacks is an evade with a perfect window that can deflect every attack except a combo. Mid-tackle, you're invulnerable to tackles and shots inputted after yours.

If you're hurt you're stunned until you completely stop, but while stunned you're invulnerable. Dashing while in this state alerts you out of the stun, but spends all your stamina. (denoted by red exclamation point particles)

Standing close enough to a rail without getting hit is a graze, completely filling your ammo and stamina. (denoted by green plus sign particles)

BEFORE YOU ASK

"How do I change my keys?"

Open up RBST_controls.toml in a text editor and follow what's written in there.

"How do I connect to other players?"

I'm probably too lazy to implement NAT hole punching  _(:3」∠)_ so please have both you AND the other player do port forwarding (ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING) or just use a VPN such as Radmin.

"Can I mod it somewhat?"

You can mess with game values in RBST_config.toml (just make sure the other player has the exact same file and pay attention to the limitations) and change sprites and shaders in their respective folders. In the sprite folder, editing atlas.toml is how you can get it to support larger sprites.
