Great writing for the setup of the story and the instructions! Your use of the theme is fantastic and very simple to understand. Love the cute little aliens darting around. Simple controls and challenging dodging gameplay is pretty fantastic! I wish there was more to the sound though, perhaps a warning ticker for the timer would give it more suspense.
