Escape From Planet Earth

An arcade-y space shooter where you help earthlings escape from an alien invasion and certain doom!

Welcome, Commander! 

Planet Earth is under attack from vile Aliens, and we must evacuate as many personnel through the wormhole as possible (yes, we have a wormhole - very convenient, I know).

You will protect the evacuation cruisers while they load civilians by piloting the advanced HERCULES defense platform. 

Every 10 seconds a shuttle from earth will deliver its passengers.

Use the MOUSE to orbit around the cruiser dock.

Press SPACE when you are ready to open the wormhole and evacuate the cruiser. Once the wormhole closes the next cruiser will arrive to begin taking on crew.

You will earn credits for each passenger evacuated, and can spend them on HERCULES upgrades after each cruiser is wormholed away.

If you, or any cruisers are destroyed, it's over! Good luck, Commander!
