Text controls + top down shooting action = ???

Completed in 10 hours. This was really supposed to be a short (~2hr) gag entry: I figured that most of the other submissions would be pretty fun in the sense that the genres combined would end up being "compatible" after all, so why not make one that feels really incompatible? Putting everything together at the last minute took much longer than expected, though, so I cut it short in order to get it all done before work on Monday. As a result it's lacking a lot of flavor like music and sound, screenshake, and etc, unfortunately.

I started late and finished early, but at least I finished!

What I've learned from all this: my commitment to the gag, no matter how terrible, is to be celebrated.

I won because they all shot each other or fell off ...

If I had access to previous commands via the up arrow I might've actually landed an aimed shot.

This was probably my favorite bug. There's something like a 60% chance of the enemy killing themselves if you don't move at the start of the game. They weren't supposed to move after they start winding up a shot, but at the last minute I changed a timer's value and so now they move off course just before firing and frequently miss or kill themselves. Kinda fun to watch.
