Scientists working in an undersea lab have developed a powerful new weapon, codenamed "Tethys". Bad guys have got wind of this: they're coming to destroy the lab and abduct the scientists, so they can claim it for themselves. Your job is to defend the scientists and the lab. You have a submarine equipped with all the latest technology; how long can you keep the attackers at bay for?

Project Tethys is a fast-paced underwater shoot-em-up inspired very heavily by the likes of Defender and Resogun. The objectives are simple:

1. Defend your base. If it's destroyed, game over.

2. Destroy all the enemies. Get them before they get you!

3. Stay alive.

The controls are arrow keys or WASD to move, left mouse button to fire. Friendly forces above the surface will occasionally air-drop shield recharge cannisters. Keep an eye out for them, they might just save your life.

My highest score so far is 37300. Can you beat it?
