Game details
Let's say that you are in some kind of 3D space and you have two Machine guns and Mine emitter controlled by mouse. You use these weapons to destroy as many objects as possible before they reach the ground and hurt your armor and health. Your goal here is to survive as long as possible. You can shoot down many kinds of bonuses, like extra ammo, extra health, extra points or special rapid-fire ammunition.
The game is over when last fallen object takes away your last bit of health. Very interesting is to synchronize your points with rest of players through the Internet to see, who is best...
