You're in command of a proud space fleet around a small noisy planet that keeps broadcasting aliens are slimy, disgusting and naked. How dare they?! Time to let this earthlings pay!

All of this was made sunday. Got almost no time this weekend. So graphics sucks and the game play is probably very much out of balance. Should be good for a quick play anyway.

Things I'd like to have implemented:
* Better graphics, background, explosions, fx.
* Different levels, decrease number of UFO's.
* Speech bubbles.
* Different weapons.

Instructions:
Click or tap to make the saucer accelerate towards the mouse cursor or finger. Hold down to give more thrust. Click/tap shortly to give only a little. Either try to find an orbit which is just fast enough to escape the missiles from earth while you shoot your lasers. Or try passing earth fast and close while doing fly-by-shooting. Turn around beyond missile range and repeat.

That's really fun. The controls weren't obvious. Add some instructions to your entry post here! Once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed the concept.

This is fun,
but it's a little hard to be sure how to control...

Controlling the trajectory is quiet difficult, but the concept is nice. I think curves are changing too quickly in order to have a real control over them.

Fun idea, but I couldn't master the controls.

Really fun game but really hard, it's difficult to not crash my ship on my other ships. The concept should be improved, the trajectory control + avoid missils and other ship is very interesting

That was pretty cool ! I didn't understand the controls at first, but after figuring it out, it's a pretty fun little game

Loved the physics of flinging around the planet, and the displayed trajectory was a really nice touch.
