Fishy Rescue by Nelson William
In year 20XX, the Earth was conquered by alien fish that stole all human weaponry. Most humans are now trapped in their cities protected by force field domes. But many are still in the wild looking for rescue. You must use your zeppelin to rescue as many people as you can and bring them to the cities! But since you don't have many weapons, you may have to use some people as projectile... Good luck!
Controls
Those are also explained in-game, so you can ignore this.

- Press the left mouse button sacrifice a human by throwing them at obstacles/enemies. Aim with the mouse.

Very polished gameplay and the graphics are beautiful!
The music got a bit repetitive, but the art and comedy of the game more than made up for it. Great game.
