Description

You are an Alien. You have been sent from your homeworld with one objective: DESTROY THE EARTH. The humans are not going without a fight however. They are researching a dangerous new technology that could wipe out your whole fleet. To win, wipe out the Earth's population before the timer runs out and the Humans complete their superweapon.


How to Play

Buy ships to attack the Earth and it's defences (satellites). Ships automatically move, and will attack when they are in range of the Earth. Satellites orbiting the Earth will attack your ships. Buy upgrades to increase your income and the power of your ships. You can also spend money to unlock more powerful ships. But be careful, the Earth has its own upgrades too. Whenever the bar at the top of the screen is filled, the humans will increase their ability to grow, build new defences or upgrade their existing defences. Will you win the race against the humans?

To get a Highscore and make it onto the Leaderboard, destroy the Earth in the shortest amount of time you can.

Pretty fun and neat!

I don't recommend upgrading money after exponent 08, I overflowed and got negative 2*10^8 money and couldn't recover (interest glitched so income was fixed to zero).

Very cool game actually. Really makes you think. I can't believe someone finished it in just 3 minutes though :0 damn

Happy to hear you enjoyed it ;)

I think the 3 minute one has something to do with unlocking the second ship asap and just rushing the Earth.

There's people who did in a minute 50 seconds, have no clue how.
