 Chromium is a top down fast paced high action scrolling space shooter which 
uses the SDL libs.
 In this game you are the captain of the cargo  ship Chromium B.S.U., and 
responsible for
 delivering supplies to our troops on the front line. Your ship has a small 
fleet of robotic
 fighters which you control from the relative safety of the Chromium vessel.
