But for some reason i decided to download source and play it with unity. Havent done it on any other game before ;). Idea is neat. Pixel art is cool enough for the simplicty of game. Duct-tape thing got you some humor points B). And music is cool too. Only thing i wanna say is conrols would be better if you can send missiles by clicking again after aiming. And right click would cancel sending that one. Keep up good work!"},{"author_name":"mystakin","author_uid":"28484","time":"May 3, 2015 @ 7:29pm","epoch":1430681040,"text":"Really tough, but I dig the design. If we're launching skyscrapers into space to push satellites towards aliens, why not just launch the skyscrapers at the aliens.

It seems that physics is not the same for all planets, but maybe it's the spin so maybe I'm wrong. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>All in all, very nice entry.

With nothing at hand to fend them off, the council of mantis men has decided to use the satellites in orbit to destroy them. To nudge the satellites into orbit, boosters are duct-taped to skyscrapers and launched into space.

After letting go of the mouse, a skyscraper will automatically by launched to push the satellite.\r\n\r\n(Note: I have not embedded the game, as it made the page turn unresponsive for me.
