As aliens spacecrafts start descending upon our planet, and the acting President is doing nothing to stop them, NASA's Commander Quill is Earth's last hope of defending against the invaders.
Progress through 3 painfully hand-drawn ASCII-based levels and enjoy the subtle political satire throughout.
This game was made for Ludum Dare 46; it was rated top 20% overall and top 7% in Humor category.
P.S. Fair warning: you can't move and shoot simultaneously :P

Unexpected turn of events in the final level :D
If you're struggling with playability I suggest tuning Keyboard preferences in your system to have key repeat as fast as possible with 0 delay.
Also, here is a video of the first level with 0 landings - I may have had it easier since the level takes 1 min 47s in real time to go through the 60s invasion - I guess my machine needs better specs to keep up with the graphics :D
