Control Satan's minions and help spread the heretical theory of evolution among the world's population.
Gameplay is fairly simple and high-score-based. The easiest way to describe it is "landmine defense," except instead of blowing up soldiers you're misleading creationists. The miners spawn faster and faster over time until they overwhelm your defenses and expose your trickery.
Most of the following can also be found on the in-game rules screen.
-Controls: A/D to move, Space to fire
-Charge your shots to launch them further upward
-Overcharged shots create more convincing fossils, worth more points (1/3/5)
-Landing a shot directly in front of an incoming miner is worth bonus points (2/6/12)
-Hitting or failing to distract a miner temporarily raises suspicion
-A flashing suspicion bar means the next hit will defeat you
Code: AS3, Flixel, FlashDevelop
Graphics: MSPaint, GIMP
Sound: sfxr, Reaper, Audacity
