Barrage is a rather violent action game with the objective to kill
and destroy as many targets as possible within 3 minutes. You control
a gun that may either fire small or large grenades at soldiers, jeeps and tanks.
Targets are fast paced and require careful aiming as it takes half a second
to reload the gun. Additionally you have to keep an eye on your ammo and reload in
time. Useful to kill some minutes of idle time. :)
And yes, the graphics look similiar to Command&Conquer but they are self-pixeled.
I just used a screenshot of C&C as sketch. And no, none of the sounds are taken
from C&C. (I don't even know how they sound as the German version has silent bots. I
never managed to find a Bloodpatch. :-/) I created all by myself except for the fonts which come from
Karl Bartel.

This game requires SDL (>= 1.2) and SDL_mixer for sound. Both
can be found at http://libsdl.org.
