Saucers From Space
Controls: Left/Right Arrows to Move --- A and D to Aim --- S to Shoot!
Saucers From Space is a 2D, city-building arcade game made in the style of early-mid 80's games on the monochrome monitor of the Apple II.
The object of the game is to build up a city and defend it from flying saucers. You start with 1 truck collecting resources, one house, and the AA gun that you control. The levels start easy and increase in difficulty as you go. In between levels is the purchasing phase. Here, you can use the resources you've collected (points, wood, and ore) to purchase more trucks, buildings, and even tanks for reinforcements. Sometimes other buildings are required before you can purchase a particular building. The more items you have at the end of the level, the more bonus points you will collect. Try to build up your city and get the high score!

I love the game. Is there a downloadable soundtrack? I'd love to listen to this theme over and over. A simple game like this one gives me a multitude of emotions.
Thanks for the kind words! I'll check around and see if I have that music for you.
(Someday, I should pick this game back up and properly balance and finish it. Haha)
You're welcome! I didn't know you'd respond that early. I found it by just looking at the credits.
As for the last part in my original comment, I thought like I was a sort of commander defending my humble home from extraterrestrial invaders. It was thrilling, but it got a bit boring as things got repetitive. I'd love if there was a downloadable version sometime soon.
