A downloadable game

A vertical scrolling arcade shooter where you're piloting a scrap-metal spaceship, and its weapon system is using a manual transmission gearbox! 

How long can you survive against the much sleeker United Space Federation Forces?

===================================

HOW TO PLAY:

Shoot down enemy ships with the various weapons on your spaceship! Some ships are immune to certain weapons, so make sure to switch frequently.
Game-over happens if you run out of time; shoot down ships to add time to the clock.

There are three weapons
Gatling Laser - Hold to rev it up, and release when fully charged to fire!
Horn - Beep your horn. This probably won't help.
Homing Missiles - Press fire to launch radar-guided missiles! Wait for them to reload before firing again.

Best played with an Xbox 360 controller or Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel.
