In this game you play as the controller of not one, but two machine guns which have been installed around a town with the express purpose of protection. Control them both with the mouse at the same time while firing the vertical gun with [Left Click] and the horizontal gun with [Right Click].
The game is presented in an almost chroma-key colour (unless you select the colourful version) and with very simplistic 2D pixel graphics. The idea is to line up the crosshairs and fire either vertically or horizontally at the invading alien hordes.
The interesting thing I found with the game is that, just as you have two methods of defense, the enemies have two methods of attack. They can either abduct the people from your town or destroy it - the former will be more devastating (game over when population hits 0) but the latter is more impressive as the town slowly deforms as the attack grows.
Such a game has not been seen for a while - the deftness with which everything is carried off including the enemies ships and their attack patterns and the dual controlled, independent but joined, weapon - its not a game to pass up lightly.
