Summary

A hand drawn hero has to protect Earth from Martians. The hero can choose from a laser, a gun, and a rocket launcher as weapons and can use a jet pack. The Martians can only shoot their lasers at close range. The hero can collect power-ups to purchase weapons, ammo, health, and jet pack fuel. Game is no longer on the app store.[1]

Reception

Robert Workman, of Modojo, said that the game reminds him of 1950s sci-fi, has a good soundtrack, and that he enjoys seeing the aliens explode. His problems with it is that the game is repetitive and that the later levels are really hard.[2] An appVersity reviewer said that they liked the game, but thinks that it's hard to believe that games like this are a hit.[3]
