Read full description

You command the finest starship in the fleet, equipped with a proximity radar to aid your mission. Your goal: stop the aliens from escaping with our planet’s precious faces. Each stolen face weakens the planet’s strength. Aliens travel 4.22 light years through a wormhole to reach orbit, where they immediately attempt to steal faces. Use your laser to destroy them—but beware! Some are protected by force fields and may require multiple hits to defeat. Stay alert for other aliens whose sole purpose is to destroy you. 
Protect the planet. Save the faces. Good luck, Commander.

About

Aquaplane

Features
Read full description

Aquaplane offers a side-scrolling action gaming experience, taking inspiration from water skiing. As players take command of a speedboat, the real challenge unfolds with a waterskier being towed behind. Steering the speedboat through hazards while adjusting speed becomes an intricate task, as the waterskier moves in tandem but with subtle variations in direction. This nuanced movement adds a layer of difficulty, making even smaller gaps a perilous challenge to navigate. The initial round begins with a simple setup featuring rocks and a handful of logs to familiarize participants with the terrain. Subsequent rounds will escalate in complexity, introducing additional obstacles such as more logs, squids, ships, and so forth.
