Deathbeam 101

Aliens are attacking. This is the mothership.
It’s charring humans left and right with its deathbeam. How rude.
This you: Rescue Bot XLD-14Z. You’re the humans’ only hope.
You can pick up humans and use your jets to carry them off to safety and wellness.
left & right arrow to move
space to jet
Drop humans at the teleporters to beam them to safety. Teleporting many at once earns you extra points!
Some humans are worth more than others. This one, however, is boring. He is worth only 50 points.
This is a scientist. Scientists are worth 250 points.
This is Mr. President. The humans’ leader is worth a whopping 1000 points, robot.
Watch out for alien turrets. Your armor protects you, but humans aren’t so lucky. Poor guys.
Rescue as many humans as you can and use the rocket booster to escape to orbit!

  5. [...] Deathbeam zeigt recht eindrucksvoll, mit welch einfachen Mitteln sich gute Spiele realisieren lassen. Optik und Spielprinzip erinnern an die Anfänge der Videospielära, aber in diesem Fall ist das keineswegs ein Minuspunkt, sondern vielmehr Stilmittel (zum Zweck). “Aliens are attacking.
