About the Game

The game is about destroying aliens and fighting never ending waves of enemies. It is a retro, bullet hell, arcade like game where you try to score the highest number of points possible. After you die restart from the beginning. Each wave is randomly generated with set waves for the bosses. The longer you go the harder it gets. 

Fight through endless waves of aliens. Fly through space and the carnage of war. How much of the swarm can you destroy before you give out? When will you be overwhelmed by the swarm?
