About
A fixed-shooter with an original cast of pixel aliens. The formation marches faster as it shrinks and drops lower each time it hits a wall, shields erode block by block from both sides, a mystery ship drifts across the top now and then, and every new wave starts a little closer to the ground.
Objective: Destroy every alien in each wave before the formation reaches the ground. Three lives.
