NOTE
====

Both the original version and the updated version now come in two flavours:

* A version that comes with an installer
* A version that comes without an installer (ie, is just an executable in a folder). This version also includes the source code and assets

ORIGINAL (competition) VERSION
==============================

Strategy game whereby you flood and strike Atlantis with meteors, in order to save it's people!

A mouse controlled game that allows you to rescue as many Atlanteans as possible, or kill them for fun. They are sad if you do that, though.

Lots of neat features, hidden tactics, high scores, and a sort of tutorial in one neat little package.

Techie
------

Developed with XNA, and therefore the zip file contains an installer which will install any missing prerequisites and then create a desktop shortcut to the game. In theory



UPDATED VERSION 02 (post competition)
=====================================

NOTE: this version has one crash bug fix and some unintentional gameplay side-effects. Most people won't notice any difference between the two versions (although ALL changes are listed below), so if you are rating please prefer the earlier version as that is much fairer to the spirit of the competition. Thanks!
