"Merciless" both plays with expectation and parody. In this game I am tying to twist players' assumption that you can defeat an alien fleet by shooting it down. "Merciless" parodies the common scenario of many 80's arcade games like "Galaga" and "Space Invaders" only with a bit of unexpected realism. Shooting the aliens only makes them angrier and faster. The only way to win is to type communications and beg them for mercy, the more you beg and grovel the more they slowdown until they finally fly away. Congratulations! The Earth is Saved.

The Music is sampled from the under-recognized PC game Star Control 2
