​Game Concept

• Aliens opened a portal within close range to earth
• They are sending through scout ships to attack the surface
  • damage over time (dot)
• They are redirecting asteroids through the portal
  • large impact damage
• You are one of few in-orbit defense vessels 
• As you defend against wave support ships are sent from earth through the portal on an offensive
• The more waves/offensive strikes you send through, the portal begins to recede
• Eventually you go through the portal on the offensive equipped with a bomb to destroy the enemy planet
  • flip the tables
• Health of earth (and your ultimate score) is gauged by remaining population or lives saved.
• You must also protect your ship against direct asteroid impact and enemy fire
