Description:
Hordes of robotic ships from another world threaten the earth. As the newly self-aware hive mind of every CRT monitor display humans threw away to replace with fancy flat screen plasma tvs, you have to prove your worth and defend those who originally created you. Maybe they will want you back?!!

Choose one of three possible forms the CRTs could take. The light ship is more maneuvrable. The heavy ship packs more punch, can take more damage but is awkward to shoot and move with. The medium ship is somewhere inbetween. Destroy every robot on your path, the humans depend on it!

Game made for the November 2011 Blitzkast.

Opinion:
A simple stylish horizontal shooter. The ASCII art is fantastic, the combat is good, the upgrades work well.
