Goal

The concept behind this game is a "reverse shmup", where the players deploy the enemy ships from the right to attack the sole pirate ship on the left. Deploy and fire the right combination of ships to destroy Zarba's ship and win! 

Backstory

The mining planet, Acheron (same planet as the one from Alien 1/2), is rife with rare minerals - but this draws the interest of the notorious galactic pirate captain, Zarba. As the Acheron defense force, protect your planet with all of the AI-controlled ships and tools at your disposal to rescue the captured diggers and scientists!

Any kind of instructions or story (besides controls) would be helpful.

Ty! I thought we uploaded that, but I guess not. I uploaded the backstory. Ideally we wanted to include more features and more levels but we ran out of time. Currently only one level.
