In this game you pilot a plane and try to dodge space aliens, showering garbage and some strange golden arches which I can\'t explain. The premise is okay and the game plays fine. I would have liked the plane to be able to move a bit faster, but the controls are responsive.

A neat touch is the included collision; space junk can collide, change direction or explode which adds a nice touch to the game. The environments are also well coloured and attractive looking.

Where the game lacks like many games, is on following the rules. There isn’t any real dynamic fire (its part of a few sprites) and the news is strange to say the least and can\'t figure out where the aliens fit in, but other then that there’s not much to complain about.

Overall a good entry.

You have to avoid meteroids, garbage thrown by some blue things, aliens and some brackets. The overall game is good, but the graphics are lacking a bit.

To the artistical rule: the backgrounds and aliens are quite nice, but the airplane, brackets and \"blue things\" aren\'t very amazing and I don\'t think a news event only few people have heard about is a good idea for this competition.

On the technical side, I give probs for the smoke effect, which fits well to the aliens, as well as the fire effect, but this one doesn\'t look really good as it just fills about 7x3 pixels area and so doesn\'t really look dynamically generated. A plus also for the pixel-perfect collision detection (though this one is copied, but no matter).

The theme of the game doesn\'t really fit together I fear. On the one hand there are aliens and meteroids, but on the other hand these blue things throwing garbage to you and the brackets. A few more explanation about this in the readme wouldn\'t have been bad, so my score here will just be 2.

This game is strange, first it gave me a bad impression,
then it gave me a good one, just to go back to being bad.
The first thing you face in-game is small pieces of a
meteorite or something which feels kinda cool, they collide
into each other giving birth to smaller pieces, and they do
different amount of damage on you, the biggest pieces burns
in an unrealistic way and look more like small torches but
at least it\'s fire, after the first wave things go bad,
there\'s small blue stuff shooting white/grey stuff and
aliens flying in some sort of spaceship which looks like
a bad made rock with a strange fire like effect behind.
the worst encounter was the blocks... i seriously can\'t
think of something it could represent.. anyway, after
the unidentifiable stuff the waves reset and you face the
metroids again, i don\'t know if the difficulty increases
but i played a long time without noticing much, it makes
good use of a current event(not current anymore) and you
play \"inside\" it.

I may have sounded a little to positive, but please note
that a lot of things still sucks. :).
