TankMan Phil by RedHermit

In the far distant future of 2021 a mysterious creature has descended from space and laid siege to our planet. As it lays waste to continent after continent, only one hope to save mankind remains; the great behemoth that sleeps just past the shore lines. Always referred to as “it” by tales old and new, we must awaken it and hope it can defeat the space creature and its armies. Has “it” been sleeping too long though? Is “it” too weak?
Luckily a hero lives among us. The greatest Tank Man to ever live. His piloting skills of the tracked metal mechanisms are unmatched, and his abilities with the artillery of the articulating armatures and adamantium shelled tank are that of legend. His name? TankMan Phil!
With TankMan Phil escorting “it” to battle, our chances of defeating the space monstrosity should increase by at least 8%. Take on the role of TankMan Phil in this epic adventure… of slowly moving left across the landscape (“it” walks very slow) as your guard “it” from floating octopus space spawns, and helping “it” achieve its maximum potential for defeating the space monster!

Controls:
Mouse click and/or SpaceBar to fire missile.
That's it.. you don't control the tank or anything else, as TankMan Phil's ground breaking AI has that covered.. it's an homage to Missle Command, just aim and shoot.
Completed items the past few days: - [x] Make a game for LD46 - [x] Miss the compo deadline - [x] Enjoy the extra time making some tweaks and polishing - [-] Fix that one typo where an "S" is missing..
Thanks for playing, and being such a wonderful community!

It would be interesting if there would be a score or any other upgrades as it gets a bit repetitive at some point. Overall good job!
Maybe I found a bug: after the 1st powerup spawned, I shot it, and then as I was trying to shoot the creatures, no bullet would hit them again, so I just died.
The game's visuals are consistent, music and sound effects fit perfectly. Always nice to hear voice acting in the game. :)
