Year 2194: Humanity has just founded a new colony on an extrasolar planet, several light-years away from Earth.

Unfortunately, following the discovery of a deposit near the colony containing a rare mineral used for interstellar travel, the powerful Protean Empire has decided to invade the new colony by capturing the settlers and turning them into slaves in order to exploit the deposit.

You are the last pilot capable of defending the colony against the Protean ships that are trying to abduct the last ten settlers.

Your task is to protect them by shooting down as many Protean ships as possible before they reach the planet and capture the remaining settlers.

To do so, you are equipped with a laser cannon that can fire three missiles before it needs to cool down, and three bombs that you can only use once each (one per bomb).

Instructions

You can move horizontally using the keys o (left) and p (right). Use space to fire a missile and the enter key to use a bomb (which destroys all enemies currently on the screen).

Avoid getting hit by the enemies, or you will lose a life. When an enemy reaches the bottom of the screen, it abducts one settler. If the number of settlers reaches zero, the game is over.
