Plot[]
A faction of aliens known as the Ailaliens have been observing Earth, and have discovered that the humans living there have manufactured over 30,000 WMDs. Fearing for the worst, the Ailaliens assume that the humans plan on using the WMDs to conquer every planet in the galaxy, and decide to attack Earth first in order to prevent the humans from going on the attack.
Gameplay[]
Destroy the World contains a short campaign featuring four levels, each one with a different goal. Completing a level lets you move on to the next one; failing the level means you have to try again. In each level, you pilot a flying saucer equipped with a laser, and various enemies will try to shoot your saucer down with guns and missiles. You can use the laser to wipe out the enemies as well as the missiles they shoot, but be careful not to get hit too many times; after taking enough damage, your saucer's shields will give out and the saucer will crash. Along the way, you can also collect power-ups that can help you out should one happen to show up.
Levels[]
- Canadian Farms: A rural area in Canada where the Ailaliens believe the WMDs may be stored. Destroy 30 farmers to win, but watch out - they're armed! Some farmers carry guns and will shoot bullets at you; others have rocket launchers they can launch homing missiles with; and others still will come at you in armored tractors outfitted with missile launchers!
- The White House: The Ailaliens' next target, believed to be the source of the WMDs. The Ailaien Mothership is preparing to destroy the White House, but it needs time to charge its Mega Laser and you have to defend it from an incoming onslaught of military trucks and tanks until the Mothership is ready to fire.
- Arctic Flight: The Ailaliens have finally discovered where all the WMDs are hidden - the Arctic. All you have to do is fly there...while avoiding the US military trying to get their revenge on you for destroying the White House! Until the timer runs out, you'll have to fight off attack helicopters and fighter jets, and dodge the occasional surface-to-air missile as you fly through the arctic skies.
- The Arctic: Your final mission is to destroy 10 WMDs hidden in the ice, but beware of the evil bazooka-wielding penguins trying to shoot you down for some reason! Some will attack on foot, while others will come in riding on armored mammoths that are more durable.
Power-Ups[]
- Laser Supercharge: Temporarily overcharges your laser so you can fire it without having to wait for it to reload.
- Shield Repair: Restores 30% of your health.
